MP Mukhyamantri Charan Paduka Yojana 2025 is a new government scheme started by the Madhya Pradesh government to support tendu leaf collectors and their families. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched this scheme on 26 July 2024 in Singrauli district. The scheme aims to provide important items like shoes, slippers, sarees, and water bottles to the families of tendu leaf collectors in the state.

Why MP Mukhyamantri Charan Paduka Yojana?
Tendu leaf collectors go deep into forests to collect leaves used for making beedis (traditional cigarettes). Many come from poor families. They often walk barefoot while collecting leaves, which leads to injuries and health risks. Some also get bitten by harmful insects, needing hospital treatment.
This scheme helps by giving proper shoes to collectors so they can work safely. Also, items like sarees and umbrellas will be given to the female collectors so they can stay protected from the sun and rain. This will make their work and daily life much easier.
