About this scholarship
The Gaon Ki Beti Yojana is an empowering initiative by the Department of Higher Education in Madhya Pradesh, crafted specifically to encourage rural girls to pursue higher education. Unlike complex fee-reimbursement programs, this scheme provides a straightforward financial incentive of ₹5,000 annually to girl students who have passed their Class 12 exams with at least 60% marks and reside in a rural area of the state. By offering this direct grant, the government aims to offset the incidental costs of attending college, such as transportation and study materials, thereby reducing the high dropout rate among rural women. Operating through the MP Scholarship Portal, the scheme is simple but highly targeted: the applicant must furnish a rural residential certificate to prove their eligibility. This localized focus ensures that state funds reach the demographics most in need of a gentle push to continue their academic journey into graduation.
Documents you need
- Rural residential certificate issued by the competent local authority
- Class 12 marksheet demonstrating at least 60% marks
- Proof of admission in a regular graduation course
- Aadhaar card
