Centrally-sponsored Scheme of Pre Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Caste Students. Guidelines

Abstract

Objectives of the scheme are: (a) To support parents of SC children for education of their wards studying in classes IX and X so that the incidence of drop-out, especially in the transition from the elementary to the secondary stage is minimized, and (b) To improve participation of SC children in classes IX and X of the pre-matric stage, so that they perform better and have a better chance of progressing to the post-matric stage of education.
