Under social security and livelihood schemes, beneficiaries of the Chief Minister Gas Subsidy Scheme and the Chief Minister Dairy Producer Sambal Scheme will receive financial assistance via DBT. In addition, construction workers and farmers will also be provided agricultural input subsidies and labour welfare assistance, directly credited to their accounts.
PM Awas Yojana Beneficiaries to Receive Cheques
The state government will also distribute cheques to selected beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, enabling economically weaker families to move closer to owning permanent homes.

The Rajasthan government described the initiatives as a blend of cultural significance and inclusive development, aligning welfare delivery with an occasion of deep religious importance for millions of devotees.
Officials said the programme reflects the government’s commitment to empowering farmers, supporting women and labourers, and strengthening rural infrastructure, while ensuring transparency and efficiency through direct benefit transfers.
