Under this scheme, selected students are given a scholarship of Rs 1,000 every month. In this way, they get total financial assistance of Rs 12,000 in a year.

This assistance is available from class 9 to 12 i.e. for a total of four years. In this way, a student gets a total assistance of up to Rs 48,000 in the entire period. This amount is sent directly to the student’s bank account so that transparency is maintained and the student can get financial assistance on time.
