What is HSY?
The Haryana Shakti Yojana (HSY) is a flagship scheme launched by the Government of Haryana in 2023 aimed at enhancing women’s safety, self-defense, and empowerment across the state. It focuses on providing free self-defense training to girls and women aged 12 to 50 years through certified trainers in schools, colleges, and community centers. The scheme also includes awareness programs on legal rights, emergency helplines, and digital safety. HSY is implemented by the Department of Women and Child Development in coordination with district administrations and police. It is widely promoted in urban and rural areas of Haryana through campaigns and workshops. For competitive exams like Haryana Civil Services or state-level teaching exams, knowledge of HSY is relevant under the social welfare and governance sections. The scheme reflects the state’s commitment to the national Beti Bachao Beti Padhao initiative and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal of gender equality. By September 2024, over 2.5 lakh women had been trained under HSY, making it one of the largest state-led women safety programs in northern India.
