Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release benefits under the PM CARES for Children scheme on Monday via video conferencing, said Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
Prime Minister will transfer scholarships to school-going children. A passbook of PM CARES for Children, and a health card under Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana will be handed over to the children during the programme.
The PM CARES for Children Scheme was launched by the Prime Minister on 29 May 2021 to support children who have lost both their parents or legal guardian or adoptive parents or surviving parent to the Covid-19 pandemic, during the period from 11 March 2020 to 28 February 2022.
The scheme's objective is to ensure children's protection by providing them boarding and lodging, empowering them through education and scholarships, equipping them for self-sufficient existence with the financial support of Rs 10 lakh upon attaining 23 years of age and ensuring their wellbeing through health insurance, PMO said.
