PM-YASASVI scheme offers scholarships to OBC, EBC and DNT students in Classes 9-12

Students from OBC, EBC and DNT communities studying in Classes 9 to 12 can receive financial assistance under the PM-YASASVI scholarship scheme, aimed at helping them continue their education without financial constraints.

The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment recently shared information about the scheme through a social media post and encouraged students and parents to review the applicable guidelines before applying.

The PM-YASASVI scheme is designed for eligible students belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Backward Classes (EBC), and Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes (DNT).

The scholarship provides support for education-related expenses during secondary and higher secondary education. Depending on the applicable provisions, the assistance can be used toward tuition fees, hostel expenses and other academic requirements.

The government aims to use the scheme to encourage meritorious students from disadvantaged communities to remain in education and pursue further academic opportunities.

Applications and selection under PM-YASASVI are conducted through an online process, with the government seeking to promote transparency and provide eligible students with equal access to the scholarship.

The ministry also provided a QR code in its recent communication for students and parents seeking additional information about the scheme.

Applicants should verify the latest eligibility conditions, application procedure, deadlines and other requirements through official government platforms before submitting their applications.

The PM-YASASVI scholarship is among the government's initiatives intended to expand educational opportunities and reduce financial barriers for students from socially and economically disadvantaged communities.
