About this scholarship

The Chief Minister Widow/Divorcee (B.Ed) Sambal Scheme is a targeted empowerment initiative by the Rajasthan Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, specifically supporting women who have faced significant personal hardships. This scheme provides full reimbursement of B.Ed. tuition fees for widowed or divorced women domiciled in Rajasthan, enabling them to build an independent career in teaching. By removing the financial barriers associated with professional education, the state aims to foster self-reliance and economic stability for these women. The scheme stands out because it imposes no income limit; the primary eligibility hinges on the applicant's marital status and their confirmed admission into a regular B.Ed. program. Integrated into the state's broader Single Sign-On (SSO) ecosystem, the application process is streamlined but strictly demands authenticated proof of the applicant's widow or divorcee status, ensuring that the state's resources directly reach the intended beneficiaries.

Documents you need

  • Jan Aadhaar card
  • Aadhaar card
  • Valid proof of widowhood (death certificate of husband) or divorce (decree from a competent court)
  • Admission proof for a regular B.Ed. program in Rajasthan
  • Fee receipt from the B.Ed. college
  • Bank passbook of the applicant

How to apply

  1. Log into the Rajasthan Single Sign-On (SSO) portal using your existing credentials or create a new citizen profile.
  2. Navigate to the Scholarship (SJE) application module.
  3. Ensure your Jan Aadhaar profile is updated with your correct marital status and bank details.
  4. Select the CM B.Ed. Sambal Scheme and upload the necessary legal and academic documents.
  5. Submit the application, which will automatically be routed to your B.Ed. college for the first level of verification.

Why applications get rejected

  • Attempting to apply without updating the marital status on the Jan Aadhaar card, which causes the portal to block the application.
  • Applying while enrolled in a distance-learning or correspondence B.Ed. course, as the scheme only covers regular programs.
  • Not providing a legally recognized divorce decree or death certificate, as affidavits alone are often insufficient.

Common questions

Is there an income limit for this B.Ed. scholarship?

No, there is no income limit. The scheme focuses entirely on supporting widowed and divorced women regardless of their current income.

Can I apply if I am pursuing an M.Ed. instead of a B.Ed.?

The scheme is specifically designed for B.Ed. students. Check the SJE guidelines to see if any extensions to M.Ed. have been announced.

Why is my Jan Aadhaar card important for this scheme?

The Rajasthan government uses Jan Aadhaar as the primary database for demographic verification. Your marital status and bank details are fetched directly from it.
