Rajasthan Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Rajasthan Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Yojana is a Rajasthan Government scheme that provides financial assistance to Scheduled Tribe girls who study regularly in colleges. The Commissionerate, College Education Department, Rajasthan, Jaipur, runs the scheme, and the state government bears 100% of its cost. Its main objective is to encourage tribal girl students of Rajasthan to pursue regular higher education without interruption and to promote girls' education in the state by offering direct economic support that helps them manage college-related expenses.

The state government launched this scheme because many tribal girls stop their studies after school when their families cannot afford college expenses. The scheme aims to motivate tribal girls of Rajasthan to continue regular studies in higher education and to promote girls' education in the state. By putting money directly into the student's hands each year, the scheme helps her manage fees, books, and other study costs without breaking her education.

Under the Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Scheme, an eligible tribal girl receives ₹500 per month for up to 10 months, which means a maximum of ₹5,000 per academic year. The department pays this amount as a lump sum. The girl must be a native resident of Rajasthan from the ST category, study regularly in a government or private college in general education, and come from a family where the parents, guardian, custodian, or husband do not pay income tax. Girls who live in a government-run hostel cannot take this benefit, and a study gap after the board examination also makes a student ineligible.

The whole process runs online. The student applies every academic year on the Rajasthan SSO portal by logging in with her SSO ID. Her college verifies the form and original documents and forwards it to the district nodal college, after which the sanctioning officer approves it. The department then prepares an online bill through the treasury and sends the money directly to the bank account linked with the student's Jan Aadhaar.

The Rajasthan Budget 2026-27 also carries a provision of ₹10 crore for this scheme, compared with ₹20 crore in 2025-26. This change relates only to the overall budget; the per-student assistance under the Economic Help to Tribal Girls Student for Higher Education Scheme still remains ₹5,000 per year.

Apart from the Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Yojana, the Rajasthan Government is also running the Rajasthan Chief Minister Higher Education Scholarship Scheme (₹5,000 per year for meritorious low-income students) and the Rajasthan Vidhwa/Parityakta Mukhyamantri Sambal Yojana (full course fee reimbursement for widowed/deserted women in B.Ed./D.El.Ed.). Interested applicants can check the complete details of these schemes here.
