The continuously increasing education fees and expensive technical courses in the country have become a big concern for many families today. Especially the education expenses of daughters doing engineering, diploma and other technical courses often become a burden on the parents’ pockets. But now a special scheme of the government has brought relief for thousands of girl students. The name of this scheme is AICTE Pragati Scholarship Scheme, under which financial assistance of up to Rs 50 thousand is being given to daughters every year.
This scheme is being considered no less than a boon for those girls who are good in studies but lack of money becomes a hindrance in the path of their dreams. The government wants that the daughters of the country should also progress in technical education and become self-reliant. With this thinking in mind, this scholarship scheme has been started.
Get 50 thousand every year
In this scheme run by AICTE i.e. All India Council for Technical Education, girl students are given assistance of Rs 50 thousand every year. This amount can be used to pay college fees, buy books, buy a laptop and other important expenses.
In today’s time, the cost of laptop and digital studies during technical studies has also increased a lot. In such a situation, this scholarship is proving to be of great help to the girl students and their families.
