About Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram

It aims to close development gaps by widening access to education, healthcare, housing, and livelihoods for minority communities, promoting area development and social inclusion through need-based infrastructure built in partnership with State Governments, District Authorities, and Local Bodies.

How to Apply
Online Application
Applicants can apply for Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram through the online application process outlined below.
Application Process
PMJVK works through State Governments, District Level Committees (DLCs), and local implementing agencies rather than accepting individual applications.
State/UT Minority Welfare Departments or District Authorities submit project proposals on the PMJVK portal based on gaps identified in Minority Concentrated Areas (MCAs). The Ministry examines these, and the Empowered Committee at the Ministry of Minority Affairs gives final approval.
Once approved, funds go to the relevant State/UT Governments or implementing agencies to carry out the projects.
Exclusions / Who Is Not Eligible
- The scheme does not provide direct cash assistance or individual financial benefits. Activities such as recurring administrative expenditure, personal subsidies, or programs unrelated to infrastructure or community development are excluded from the scope of PMJVK.
