Launched in 2013-14, the scheme provides financial assistance for higher education to meritorious students of tendu leaf collector families who pass Class 10 and 12 with distinction.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, it was estimated that around 100 students would benefit each year. However, the scope and impact of the scheme have grown significantly over the years. Since 2019-20, a total of 38,114 students have received scholarships amounting to \u20b941.79 crore, all disbursed through online transfers.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme includes four major components:<\/p>\n<p>Scholarships for meritorious students<\/p>\n<p>Educational incentive scholarships for talented children<\/p>\n<p>Scholarships for vocational courses<\/p>\n<p>Scholarships for non-vocational undergraduate courses<\/p>\n<p>Under these categories, scholarships ranging from \u20b92,500 to \u20b925,000 are awarded, providing critical financial support that helps students continue their education without interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Forest Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap stated that this scheme not only connects students from economically weaker, forest-based communities with education but also empowers their future. He emphasized that this initiative is a significant step toward realizing the state government\u2019s vision of a well-educated and empowered Chhattisgarh. He added that efforts will continue to expand the scheme in the coming years so that every eligible and deserving student can benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, 18 June The scholarship scheme operated by the Chhattisgarh State Minor Forest Produce (MFP)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cg"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
