The Yuva Nidhi scheme, which provides unemployment benefits to graduates and diploma holders, currently supports 1.74 lakh individuals. The scheme aims to assist up to 10 lakh students annually, but fewer than expected have received benefits. Over two years, 2.62 lakh students applied, with 1.74 lakh currently receiving support. Issues include incomplete waiting periods and pending verifications, leading to some applications being rejected or disabled due to enrollment in higher education. To improve participation, the government has changed the self-declaration requirement from monthly to quarterly. The Minister addressed concerns about delays in distributing marks cards, stating students can apply as soon as results are available.
