Mission Shakti Uttar Pradesh (मिशन शक्ति उत्तर प्रदेश — also searched as Mission Shakti UP or UP Mission Shakti) is a flagship women safety, dignity, and empowerment initiative of the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
Mission Shakti is a broad government campaign integrating safety services, empowerment programmes, and multi-departmental initiatives. It is not a scheme where every woman receives a fixed monetary benefit simply by applying. Financial support, where available, comes through linked government programmes based on individual eligibility.
Launched in 2026, Mission Shakti has evolved through multiple phases, with Mission Shakti 5.0 inaugurated on September 20, 2025 by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The UP Government’s budget material describes it as the state’s flagship women-empowerment initiative covering security, health, and employment services to strengthen women’s self-reliance and social participation.
This guide explains what Mission Shakti is, its phases, Mission Shakti 5.0, safety and support services, empowerment initiatives, helplines, and related UP schemes — based on official Uttar Pradesh Government sources.

💪 Women’s Empowerment & Economic Participation
Mission Shakti’s empowerment dimension goes beyond safety to promote women’s economic and social participation:
Empowerment Initiatives
| Area | Programmes & Activities |
|---|---|
| Skill Development | Linkages with UPSDM and government skill training programmes |
| Self-Employment | Awareness of CMYUVA and entrepreneurship schemes |
| Self-Help Groups (SHGs) | Promotion of women’s SHGs and financial inclusion |

| Legal Rights | Legal literacy camps, awareness of property and inheritance rights |
| Employment | Women’s participation in government employment and local governance |
The UP Government’s budget describes Mission Shakti as integrating security, health, and employment services — meaning women are connected to relevant departmental programmes rather than receiving a single uniform benefit.

- Victims of harassment, violence, or discrimination seeking police and legal support
