Yuva Suchna Kranti Yojana 2026 - Free Laptop and Tablet for Final Year Students in Chhattisgarh

Yuva Suchna Kranti Yojana is one of the most student-friendly schemes running in Chhattisgarh right now. Under this scheme, final year students in government-recognised colleges and universities get a free laptop or tablet directly from the state government, with no application needed from the student's side.

Launched back in 2013 by the Technical Education Department, Government of Chhattisgarh, this scheme has been helping students across engineering, medical, arts, science, and commerce streams get access to modern digital devices. The entire process is managed by CHIPS (Chhattisgarh Infotech and Biotech Promotion Society), which sets the device specs, handles procurement, and makes sure the devices reach the right students every academic session.

Yuva Suchna Kranti Yojana - Key Details

Here is a quick look at the main highlights of this scheme before we look into eligibility and how the process works.

What Students Get Under This Scheme

The scheme gives out free digital devices to final year college students every academic session. The type of device depends on the stream you are studying in. Here is how it works.

• Free Laptop for technical stream students: Students in the final year of undergraduate or postgraduate programs in engineering, medical, or any other identified technical institution recognised by the Chhattisgarh government get a free laptop. The device specs are decided by CHIPS to make sure they meet academic needs.
• Free Tablet for general stream students: Students in the final year of UG or PG courses in arts, commerce, or science streams at any recognised college or university in Chhattisgarh get a free tablet. Distribution happens through the Department of Higher Education.
• One device per student, for life: Each student can get this benefit only once throughout their academic life in the state. Even if a student pursues both UG and PG in Chhattisgarh, the device is given only one time.

Devices are distributed every year for the ongoing academic session. CHIPS handles all the technical specification-setting and procurement while the Technical Education and Higher Education departments manage final distribution at the college level.

Who is Eligible for Yuva Suchna Kranti Yojana

The eligibility conditions are quite simple and clear. A student should meet all of the following to qualify for this scheme.

You must be a bonafide student currently enrolled in a recognised higher education institution in Chhattisgarh. You must be a domicile of Chhattisgarh, meaning you should be a native resident of the state. You should be studying in the final year of a graduate or postgraduate degree program at the time of distribution. Your institution must be inside Chhattisgarh and should be recognised by the state government under the relevant education authority.

For a free laptop, your institution must be a recognised engineering college, medical college, or any other technical institute under the Technical Education Department. For a free tablet, you need to be enrolled in arts, commerce, or science at a recognised university or general college under the Higher Education Department. Students from private institutions also qualify as long as their college has proper government recognition.

Documents Required

Students do not need to submit any documents directly. The entire process of document collection and verification is done by the college or institution. The institution's records that are usually compiled and sent to the department include a department-wise student list, faculty-wise final year roll data, and bonafide student records maintained by the institution's administration.

How the Device Distribution Process Works

STEP 1 - Your college or university compiles a list of eligible final year students as per the scheme guidelines. This is done internally by the institution's administration without requiring any action from individual students.

STEP 2 - The institution sends this list to the Department of Technical Education (for engineering and technical course students) or the Department of Higher Education (for arts, science, and commerce students).

STEP 3 - The respective department coordinates with CHIPS, which has already procured the devices as per the approved technical specifications for that academic session.

STEP 4 - Devices are sent from CHIPS to the departments, which then hand them over to institutions for final distribution to the selected students.

STEP 5 - Your college will announce the beneficiary list on the notice board. You can also check the complete list on the CHIPS official website at chips.gov.in and the Chhattisgarh state government portal at cg.gov.in. Once confirmed, you will receive your device at the college itself.
