हे काय आहे?
Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana is a scheme of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for senior citizens who suffer from age-related disability or infirmity. Growing older often brings low vision, hearing loss, loss of teeth and difficulty in moving about. Devices that would make daily life manageable are frequently out of reach for a poor elderly person.
Under the scheme, assisted living devices are supplied to senior citizens in the Below Poverty Line category. The devices covered include walking sticks, elbow crutches, walkers, tripods and quadpods, hearing aids, wheelchairs, artificial dentures and spectacles. The aim is to restore, as far as possible, normal functioning in day-to-day life.
The scheme is implemented through the Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO). Beneficiaries are identified through assessment camps organised together with the State Government or district administration. This is important to understand: the usual way in is to attend a camp when one is held in the area, rather than to file an application at a counter.
The official page records a monthly income cap of Rs 15,000 alongside the BPL category condition, and mentions doorstep delivery for those aged 80 years and above.
The scheme began on 1 April 2017. As recorded on the Senior Citizens portal as of 2 May 2025, more than 36 camps had been held, over 21.82 lakh devices distributed and more than 4 lakh people covered.
