Post-Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Castes
The Centre pays for Scheduled Caste students to stay in education after Class 10, and that money now moves straight into the student's own Aadhaar-linked bank account instead of travelling through a chain of offices. Over the twelve years to FY 2025-26 the scheme released central assistance of ₹46,581.54 crore, and it sits inside a wider family of scholarships that the Social Justice Ministry runs for SC, OBC, EBC and denotified-tribe students.
