DBNS.in is an information portal dedicated to India's Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes focused on nutrition. We simplify the process for citizens to access government aid for maternal health, child nutrition, and disease recovery.
Direct Benefit Nutrition Support refers to the Government of India's initiative to transfer cash incentives directly into the bank accounts of beneficiaries to meet their nutritional needs. This eliminates leakages and ensures mothers and children get the diet they need.
Subsidies and incentives are transferred directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account (DBT).
Funds are specifically allocated to improve the dietary intake of pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children.
