The scheme is designed for mothers who take care of children with autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and multiple disabilities.

What is Kerala Snehayanam Scheme 2026

The task of caring and providing rehabilitation support for persons with autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and multiple disabilities can be stressful and daunting for parents, especially mothers. Such persons with disabilities coming under the purview of the National Trust Act 1999 always require special care and attention since they cannot perform their day to day activities without someone else's assistance.

Sometimes taking care of such PwDs can be quite challenging for mothers who are widowed or divorced and have no other source of permanent income. So, the Department of Social Justice has formulated a novel scheme named Snehayanam. The main objective of Kerala Snehayanam Scheme is to give free electric auto rickshaws to mothers of disabled people. This scheme provides a means of livelihood to families of physically disabled people.
