Vishesh Shiksha Sahaayata Yojana is a supportive scheme launched by the Chhattisgarh state government on 1 July 2018 to help children of deceased construction workers. It provides money help and study support so that students can continue their education even after losing a parent. The scheme is run by the Labour Department and the Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board of Chhattisgarh.
The scheme gives a special card to the first two children of a deceased registered construction worker. With this card, these children become eligible for the different scholarship and education schemes run by the board. As of 2026, the scheme is still in operation and applications are accepted through the official labour department portal.
Vishesh Shiksha Sahaayata Yojana - Introduction
Vishesh Shiksha Sahaayata Yojana was started by the labour department of Chhattisgarh on 1 July 2018 for the children of construction workers. The main aim is to make sure that the education of children does not stop after the death of a registered worker. The board issues a special card to the eligible children, which opens the door to the scholarship schemes it runs.
This support covers the first two children of the deceased worker. The children can then get benefits under schemes such as the Naunihal Scholarship Scheme, the Meritorious Students Education Incentive Scheme and the Technical Education Scheme. In this way, the family gets a steady helping hand for studies without any extra money burden.

Benefits
Vishesh Shiksha Sahaayata Yojana gives strong support to the families of construction workers who are no longer with us. If a registered worker passes away, the board issues special cards to their children. These children then become eligible for the following study schemes.
- Naunihal Scholarship Scheme - this provides scholarship money to school students of the registered worker.
- Meritorious Students Education Incentive Scheme - this rewards students who perform well in their studies.
- Technical Education Scheme - this supports students who want to take up technical and professional courses.
These benefits cover up to the first two eligible children of the deceased worker. The special card is the key that lets the children use these schemes without any extra charge.
Eligibility
To qualify for Vishesh Shiksha Sahaayata Yojana, the applicant needs to meet a few simple conditions. The rules are based on the registration of the parent and the number of children in the family.

- The deceased worker should have had a valid registration for at least one year before passing away.
