Introduction Mukhyamantri Apna Parivar Sukhi Parivar Yojana is a welfare-focused initiative announced by the Government of Himachal Pradesh to identify and support the state's most vulnerable and economically weaker families. The scheme aims to improve the living standards of poor households by providing essential benefits such as free electricity, housing assistance, and financial support for women. Unlike traditional welfare programmes that rely solely on BPL lists, this scheme focuses on families facing serious economic, social, health, disability, or livelihood-related hardships. Eligible families are identified through surveys and verification conducted by local authorities. Priority is given to orphan-headed households, widows, elderly-only families, persons with disabilities, landless families, MGNREGA-dependent households, and families affected by severe illnesses or permanent disabilities. Under the scheme, selected families can receive up to 300 units of free electricity every month. Families without a permanent house may be considered for financial assistance to construct a pucca house, while eligible women may receive monthly assistance of ₹1,500 through the expansion of the Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh Samman Nidhi Yojana. The final phase of beneficiary verification is scheduled to continue until 20 September 2026, and the scheme is proposed to be officially launched on 2 October 2026. Eligible families can submit their applications through the concerned Gram Panchayat, Development Block Office, or SDM (Civil) Office along with the required documents for verification and inclusion in the final beneficiary list.
