The scholarship is designed to provide OBC students with the necessary financial resources studying at pre-matriculation stage to enable them to complete their education.
Pre-Matric Scholarship - Introduction
Education is top-seeded to uplift the backward classes. Because of a lack of education, a social category remains backward. Despite the long duration passed since independence, the expected improvement is not seen in the educational status of Other Backward Classes. Many efforts have been made to improve the educational status. At present, the Fee Reimbursement scheme is being operated in online mode by the Department of Backward Classes Welfare with the objective of development of backward classes and uplifting their educational status. Under this scheme, students of Other Backward Classes studying in all government schools, aided, and recognized educational institutes are provided with scholarships each year. The Department of Backward Classes Welfare is continuously working to uplift the educational status of backward classes.
