Kanya Dhan Scheme for SC Students

Kanya Dhan Scheme for Scheduled Caste Students (Kanya Dhan Yojana)

The Government of Goa has launched the “Kanya Dhan Scheme for SC Students,” overseen by the Directorate of Higher Education. This initiative aims to empower girl students from Scheduled Caste communities by providing them with financial assistance to support their educational pursuits. Under this scheme, a one-time grant of ₹25,000 is awarded to eligible girls upon successfully completing their 12th standard board examinations or an equivalent qualification.

Overview of the Scheme

The “Kanya Dhan Scheme for SC Students” is designed to encourage and support the education of girl children from Scheduled Caste backgrounds. By offering a financial incentive, the scheme aims to promote educational attainment among girls, ensuring that they have the necessary resources to further their studies. The application process is facilitated through the Chief Minister Scholarship Portal, ensuring a streamlined and efficient experience for applicants.

Key Advantages

Eligible beneficiaries receive a fixed deposit of ₹25,000 in their name, which is managed by a government-nominated officer. This financial aid is disbursed upon successful completion of the 12th standard or equivalent examination, providing critical support for further educational opportunities.
