Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai launches Azim Premji Scholarship Scheme in Chhattisgarh
Girls passing Class 10 and 12 from government schools to receive financial aid for higher education
Annual scholarship of ₹30,000 for studying in any institution across the country
New wings for girls’ education – financial hurdles will no longer be a barrier
Raipur : “When daughters are educated, entire generations are uplifted,” said Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today while inaugurating the Azim Premji Scholarship Scheme from his official residence in Raipur. He emphasized that the state government is fully committed to ensuring higher education opportunities for girls.
Congratulating the Azim Premji Foundation, Chief Minister Shri Sai said that this scholarship scheme would give thousands of young women the chance to fulfill their dreams. He noted that in the last 25 years, Chhattisgarh has witnessed holistic development, with women and girls contributing significantly to enhancing the state’s pride. “This initiative has been launched to ensure that daughters do not abandon their studies due to financial constraints. It will help raise the enrollment rate of girls in higher education,” he added.
CM Sai further stated that the scheme aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao. The scholarship will particularly benefit students from low-income families studying in government schools, enabling them to continue higher education without disruption.
“When daughters study, they don’t just uplift two families but educate entire generations,” CM Sai remarked, instructing that information about the scheme be widely disseminated in all colleges across the state.
