Madhya Pradesh Shiksha Protsahan Puraskar Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Shiksha Protsahan Puraskar Yojana is a performance-based reward scheme launched by the Madhya Pradesh Shram Kalyan Mandal for children of workers employed in registered factories and establishments covered under the MP Shram Kalyan Nidhi Adhiniyam, 1982. The scheme aims to encourage meritorious students pursuing higher education by providing financial assistance based on their academic performance.

Under this scheme, eligible students studying Graduation, Engineering, Medical, Law, and Postgraduate courses can receive financial assistance ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 per year. To qualify, students must secure the required minimum marks of 70% or 60%, should not have any backlog or academic gap, and must not be receiving any other government scholarship.

The financial assistance is transferred directly into the student's Aadhaar-seeded bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Only two children from one worker's family can avail the benefit under the scheme, and a fresh application must be submitted every year with proper verification from the employer and educational institution.

Students interested in other education support schemes in Madhya Pradesh can also explore the Madhya Pradesh Shaikshanik Chatravriti Yojana and Madhya Pradesh Pratibhashali Vidyarthi Protsahan Yojana.
