Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Launches 'E-Kalyan' Portal of ESOMSA to Streamline Welfare Schemes.

App and Web Portal

In April 2025, Himachal Pradesh (HP) Chief Minister (CM) Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu launched the E-Kalyan Portal, developed by the Department for Empowerment of Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, Minorities, and Specially Abled (ESOMSA). This digital initiative is aimed at streamlining the application process for various social security pension schemes across the state.


      - The launch of the E-Kalyan Portal showcases the HP government’s dedication to transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in the delivery of social welfare schemes.

     

     

Main Point :-   (i) The portal is connected to multiple government databases—Him Bhoomi, Him Parivar, Aadhaar, and the Public Distribution System (PDS)—to facilitate automatic verification and minimize manual documentation.

      (ii) Eligible beneficiaries can apply online directly or through Lokmitra Kendras by visiting https://himparivar.hp.gov.in/ekalyan.

(iii) Applicants are digitally notified about application errors, verification status, and approvals, allowing them to track the process conveniently from home.
