Government extends Atal Beemit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana for two years
The government has decided to prolong the duration of the Atal Beemit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana, the unemployment scheme under the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation, for an additional two years until June 30, 2024.
This marks the scheme’s third extension, with previous extensions granted in both 2020 and 2021. These extensions aim to continue providing financial support to ESIC beneficiaries who faced job losses during the pandemic
The scheme was initially introduced on a pilot basis in 2018, intended to run for two years. However, due to the outbreak of Covid and the ensuing lockdown, the government extended the unemployment scheme beyond its initial duration.
