The UP Vidhwa Pension Yojana is a key welfare scheme launched by the Social Welfare Department of Uttar Pradesh to provide financial security to destitute widowed women. Under the UP Vidhwa Pension Yojana, eligible women from below-poverty-line (BPL) families receive monthly financial pension support transferred directly to their Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts.
Overview of UP Vidhwa Pension Yojana
The primary objective of the UP Vidhwa Pension Yojana is to offer sustainable financial independence to widowed women after the loss of their spouse. Unlike standard senior citizen pension schemes, this scheme has no minimum age requirement, allowing eligible widowed women aged 18 years and above to apply and receive monthly state aid.
