About this scholarship
The CM’s Jibon Anuprerana Scheme is a specialized financial grant introduced by the Assam government to bolster higher academic research within the state. Managed by the Directorate of Higher Education, it provides a substantial one-time financial assistance of ₹50,000 to full-time research scholars pursuing an M.Phil or Ph.D., as well as differently-abled (Divyang) researchers. By injecting this capital, the state aims to alleviate the costs associated with advanced research, such as fieldwork, publications, and specialized materials. This scheme operates entirely independent of income constraints, focusing instead on the scholar's enrolment status at a recognized state university or institution in Assam. Because it is a targeted, one-time award for the highest levels of academia, the application process is rigorous, requiring a valid registration certificate for the research program. It serves as a strong signal of Assam's commitment to cultivating homegrown research talent.
Documents you need
- Ph.D. or M.Phil registration certificate from a recognized university in Assam
