“While no amount can compensate for the loss of life, financial security can help families cope with their grief and rebuild their lives,” he observed.

Saini highlighted that the DAYALU scheme, launched on April 1, 2023, provides a crucial safety net for families with an annual income of up to ₹1.80 lakh. It covers individuals between the ages of 6 and 60 years, ensuring financial assistance of up to ₹5 lakh in the event of an untimely death or permanent disability of a family member.
He noted that since its launch, the scheme has become an important pillar of social security in the state. To date, as many as 36,651 families have collectively received financial assistance worth ₹1,380 crore.
“The objective of this initiative is not merely to extend monetary relief but also to provide dignity and reassurance to vulnerable households during distressing times,” the Chief Minister said.
