Andaman and Nicobar Pre Matric Scholarship | Overview

Andaman and Nicobar Pre Matric Scholarship – Objective

It has been recognized now that education and economic support for Backward Classes has not been adequate and there is a disparity between them and the non-backward sections of the population at every level. In view of the same, it is felt that earnest efforts are required to introduce various new schemes specifically for these target groups i.e. backward classes to provide them a level playing field in comparison to non-backward sections of the population.

Experience shows that children of OBCs from the poorer section do not go to school as they often have to provide a helping hand to their parents in traditional occupations or otherwise supplement the family income. It is considered that a scheme of Pre-matric Scholarship would be helpful in spreading education amongst such children especially amongst the girl child of weaker sections. A scheme of Pre-matric Scholarship for the benefit of children belonging to the Weaker Section amongst OBCs has been formulated with the object in view.
