Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana (General) - Introduction
Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana (General) is a helping hand for children across the state who face hard life situations. This scheme gives cash support to children under 18 who have lost one or both parents for reasons other than Covid, and also to young adults aged 18 to 23 who are continuing their studies.
The scheme helps students go for higher education in government institutions after class 12, including those preparing for national competitive exams like NEET, JEE, or CLAT. It also covers children of divorced or abandoned mothers, children whose parents are in prison, and children rescued from child labor or begging, so that they get care and a stable life.
Online Application Process
The government has made the application process fully digital. From February 2026, eligible children or their guardians can apply online from home on the official portal at mbsyup.in, so there is no need to visit block or tehsil offices repeatedly. Offline application through local offices is still running for now, and the online system will become the main option in some months.
STEP 1 - Open the official website at mbsyup.in on your mobile or computer and click on the option to register as a first time user.
STEP 2 - Fill in the registration form with the child's details and a valid mobile number, and set up a user id and password.
STEP 3 - Log in and submit the application form with the required documents. After submission, you can track the status of your form from home on the portal.
Those who cannot apply online can still submit the application form, duly filled and self-attested with all required documents, to their local authorities. In rural areas, approach the Village Development Officer, Gram Panchayat Officer, Block Development Officer, or District Probation Officer. In urban areas, contact the Accountant, Tehsil office, or District Probation Officer. The application is verified by local officials before being sent to the District Probation Office for final approval.
