Jan Samuh Bima Yojana gives ₹25,000 in financial support to families from the Sahariya community in Rajasthan when the main earning head of the family passes away. This insurance-based scheme helps families handle immediate money problems after a personal loss.
Jan Samuh Bima Yojana was launched in 2019 by the Department of Tribal Area Development, Government of Rajasthan. The scheme supports Sahariya families by giving a one-time relief amount of ₹25,000 if the primary earning head of the family dies. Heads of these families stay insured under the Swachh Project, and the full insurance premium is paid by the project, so no money pressure falls on the families.
Jan Samuh Bima Yojana - Introduction
The scheme continues to serve Sahariya families in the Baran district. The Swachh Project, based in Shahabad, runs the scheme on the ground and handles the enrollment and claim process. Families do not need to pay any premium, as the project covers the full cost of the insurance cover.
When a registered insured person passes away, the family can submit a claim to the Swachh Project office. The documents are checked and sent to the insurance company, which then releases the approved amount to the family.
