Why MeraHaq Exists
India has hundreds of central and state government welfare schemes — PM Kisan, Ayushman Bharat, MGNREGA, scholarships, housing schemes, insurance schemes, and many more. Billions of rupees are allocated every year for the benefit of ordinary citizens.
Yet most eligible families never claim these benefits. Not because they don't qualify — but because they don't know these schemes exist, don't understand how to apply, or find the process too confusing.
The same is true for legal rights. Every Indian has constitutional and legal rights — the right to free legal aid, the right to file an RTI, the right to emergency hospital treatment, the right against workplace harassment. Most people never exercise these rights simply because nobody told them they had them.
MeraHaq was built to fix this. We present official government information in plain, simple language — so every Indian, regardless of education level or income, can understand what they are entitled to and how to get it.
What We Offer
Who Runs MeraHaq
MeraHaq was founded by Atharv Bhat, an independent researcher and digital rights advocate based in India, who believes that access to public information is a fundamental right — not a privilege. The site is built and maintained by a small team of Indian citizens not affiliated with any government body, ministry, political party, or commercial organisation.
🔍 Research Methodology: MeraHaq researchers read the original government gazette notifications, scheme guidelines, and ministry circulars — not news articles or other websites. All eligibility criteria, application steps, and benefit amounts quoted are taken directly from official sources and linked accordingly. Last site-wide audit: April 2026.
Our Principles
How We Stay Free
MeraHaq is a free public service and we intend to keep it that way. To cover the costs of running and maintaining the website, MeraHaq may display advertisements through Google AdSense.
📢 Advertising Disclosure: MeraHaq may display ads served by Google AdSense. These ads are clearly labelled. We do not endorse any advertiser. We do not accept paid content or sponsored placements. All editorial decisions are completely independent of advertisers. Displaying ads allows us to keep MeraHaq 100% free for every Indian user — forever.
We will never: charge users any fee, sell your personal data to advertisers, publish sponsored articles pretending to be independent guides, or accept payment to feature or promote any specific government scheme or service. Our content independence is non-negotiable.
