A positive outcome of this special campaign initiated by the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government is the increased pace of enrollments across most districts in Uttar Pradesh. The scheme is transforming the lives of many living on society margins.
The Pradhan Mantri Yogi Shram Yojana in Uttar Pradesh is a welfare initiative aimed at providing social security to unorganized sector workers such as laborers, street vendors, and small workers. It focuses on ensuring financial stability in old age through pension benefits and encourages long-term savings among low-income groups. By supporting workers with limited income, the scheme helps improve their quality of life and promotes inclusive economic growth in the state.
To accelerate the uptake and access of the scheme the recently launched campaign has ensured that even in districts where performance was relatively lower, improvement efforts are ongoing, with focused administrative measures being undertaken.
With the effective implementation of this scheme, a large number of unorganized workers are now receiving social security benefits such as pensions. Continuous efforts by the state government and active participation of district administrations are strengthening the scheme at the grassroots level.
Following the Statewide campaign significant progress is being recorded in the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana (PM-SYM), with social security being provided to workers in the unorganized sector across the state. During the special campaign conducted from January 15 to March 15, 2026, several districts delivered outstanding performances, setting new benchmarks and accelerating the scheme’s pace across the state.
Under the special campaign, Firozabad secured the top position with 349 enrollments, while Ghaziabad (262) and Basti (238) also performed impressively, earning their place among the leading districts. Additionally, districts such as Banda, Bareilly, Ambedkar Nagar, Hapur, and Bijnor demonstrated active participation and made significant contributions to the success of the campaign.
The Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana is laying a strong foundation in the field of social security in the state, and more workers are expected to benefit from it in the coming years. A truly noble effort.
