PM-YASASVI Scheme

The PM-YASASVI (Prime Minister Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India) was launched to provide financial support and improve educational access for students from Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Backward Classes (EBC), and Denotified Tribes (DNT). Consolidating previous scholarship programs, the scheme offers Pre-Matric and Post-Matric scholarships, as well as full financial aid for top-class school and college education. In 2023-24, nearly ₹1,193.83 crore was allocated to support about 47.83 lakh students, aiming to reduce financial barriers and promote inclusivity in India's education system.
