Mukhyamantri Balak/Balika Protsahan Yojna

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Mukhyamantri Balika/Balak Protsahan Yojana is an important scholarship scheme implemented by the Government of Bihar to encourage meritorious students in the field of education. The scheme is administered by the Education Department, Government of Bihar, and is one of the sub-schemes under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana. Through this scheme, financial assistance is provided to students who pass the Matriculation (Class 10) examination with good marks so that they can continue their higher education without financial difficulties.

Under this scheme, eligible boys and girls who have passed the Matriculation examination conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) receive an incentive amount ranging from ₹8,000 to ₹10,000, depending on their category and division obtained in the examination. The amount is transferred directly to their Aadhaar-seeded bank account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). All eligible students who pass with First Division receive ₹10,000, while students belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories who pass with Second Division receive an incentive amount of ₹8,000.

The primary objective of this scheme is not only to provide financial assistance but also to motivate students to pursue higher education, reduce the chances of school dropouts, and improve the overall standard of education in the state. This financial support helps meritorious students from economically weaker families meet expenses related to higher education, admission fees, books, study materials, and other educational requirements. It also encourages students to become self-reliant and achieve their academic goals.

The benefits of the scheme are provided only to eligible students through the online application process. For applying, it is mandatory that the student's Aadhaar number, bank account, mobile number, and other required details are correct. After the application and bank verification process is completed, the incentive amount is directly credited to the beneficiary's bank account.
