Yuva Nidhi 2025: Powerful Benefits & Easy Seva Sindhu Form
The Yuva Nidhi Scheme is a monthly unemployment allowance initiative by the Government of Karnataka, designed to support students who are currently unemployed. Students registered under this scheme are required to submit a self-declaration every three months to confirm their employment status. This process is essential for the continuation of financial benefits under the scheme. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about submitting your self-declaration and troubleshooting common issues.
What is the Yuva Nidhi Self Declaration?
The Yuva Nidhi Self Declaration is a process where students receiving unemployment benefits under the scheme confirm their employment status every three months. This declaration is submitted through the Seva Sindhu Services portal and serves as confirmation that you are still unemployed and eligible for the allowance.
By submitting this declaration, you ensure your continued eligibility for monthly payments. Only after this declaration is processed will your unemployment allowance be transferred via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into your bank account.
