AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh government continues to run Mukhya Mantri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana for women and girls who have faced violence or are living in very difficult situations. Scheme started in September 2013, and the official scheme pages still show free skill training with residential cost included for eligible women.
Official details checked on 02 August 2026 show the scheme is still running. Application is handled through the District Programme Officer of the Women and Child Development Department, there is no fixed last date on the CM Helpline scheme page, and the latest scheme record there was updated on 20 May 2026.
Mukhya Mantri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana details
This scheme is made for rehabilitation through training, not for a fixed cash payout. Women who need to rebuild their lives after violence, trafficking, divorce, shelter-home stay, child marriage, acid attack, prison release, or dowry-related abuse can be linked to approved training courses so they can get work and manage daily life with more stability.
Current official sources do not show any new 2026 cut in support, closure notice, or change in the main target group. Main facts remain the same, but the article needed a full cleanup because the older draft used outdated wording, weak structure, and unclear application details.

How to apply for Mukhya Mantri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana
Application is not shown as an online self-form on the official 2026 sources checked for this update. Eligible women have to reach the district-level Women and Child Development office for processing.
STEP 1 Go to the District Programme Officer office of the Women and Child Development Department. If local guidance is needed first, nearby Anganwadi staff or district women welfare offices can help point the applicant to the correct office.
STEP 2 Carry identity and situation-related papers. Aadhaar card, photo ID, age proof, and any paper linked to the case or social condition should be kept ready because district-level checking is done before training support is approved.
STEP 3 Submit the application in person or by post at the District Programme Officer office. The CM Helpline page says the application is filed with the district office, and the appeal level is the Collector.
STEP 4 After checking, the department links the eligible woman to a recognised training course. Official scheme pages show that the training should be through recognised institutions so the certificate remains useful for future job or self-work options.
Who can apply
Official scheme pages and the state resource booklet show that this scheme is meant for women and girls who need rehabilitation after violence or serious social hardship.
- Rape survivors and acid attack survivors are part of the target group.
- Women rescued from trafficking and BPL women who are divorced or abandoned can also be covered.
- Women released from prison, women living in government or non-government shelter homes, and women affected by dowry violence or child marriage are also listed in the official sources.
Training support under the scheme
Support under this scheme is skill training. Official pages do not show a fixed rupee payout. Instead, the department connects eligible women to approved courses and covers the training cost. The CM Helpline page also says residential arrangement cost is included in the full training expense.
Courses named on the official scheme pages include pharmacy, beautician work, hotel or event management, nursing, short-term management courses such as cooking or banking, laboratory assistant work, physiotherapy, ITI or polytechnic courses, and B.Ed. or D.Ed. level training. Some government-only training options such as aaya, dai, ward nurse, and hospitality-related training are also mentioned.
Documents required
Official pages do not give a full long list, but the working draft and state booklet both point to basic identity and case-related papers. It is better to carry all relevant papers together when visiting the district office.
- Aadhaar card and one photo ID for identity checking.
- Age proof such as birth proof or school record.
- Any paper linked to the applicant's condition, shelter-home stay, police case, district-level record, or BPL status, depending on the case.
- Passport-size photos and any extra paper asked by the District Programme Officer during checking.
