Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh Government continues to make significant strides in the field of education. In particular, the government’s scholarship schemes have proved highly effective in providing financial assistance to students from backward classes pursuing higher education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post-Matric Scholarship\/Fee Reimbursement Scheme for Backward Classes has emerged as a new ray of hope for millions of students. In terms of the number of beneficiaries, Prayagraj has secured the top position in the state.More than 169,000 students in Prayagraj have benefited from the scholarship scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is providing a strong foundation for students from economically weaker families to advance in education. The Yogi Government\u2019s efforts have directly benefited millions of families and made higher education more accessible for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the academic year 2025-26, more than 2.7 million students have received scholarships under the Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme for Backward Classes. A total of 169,489 students in Prayagraj benefited from the scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Prayagraj, Ghazipur ranked second, with more than 134,000 students receiving scholarships. Similarly, over 119,000 students benefited in Azamgarh, more than 115,000 students in Jaunpur, and 88,859 students in Varanasi received scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures reflect the extensive impact of the scholarship scheme across the state.According to scholarship distribution data, 472,764 girl students studying in Classes 11 and 12 received scholarships. In addition, 380,667 boys and 2 transgender beneficiaries were also awarded scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In higher education, scholarships were provided to 1,001,084 female students, 931,906 male students, and 8 transgender beneficiaries.The Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme is not limited to the intermediate level. It also covers higher education and professional courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with students of Classes 11 and 12, those pursuing professional courses such as B.Tech, MBBS, and MBA, as well as programs like BA, BSc, BCom, ITI, and Polytechnic, are also eligible for benefits under the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The primary objective of the scheme is to provide children from economically weaker families with opportunities to pursue education. Students whose parents have an annual income of \u20b92 lakh or less are eligible for benefits under the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the scholarship distribution process has been made completely transparent and user-friendly. Students apply online through the Scholarship Management System portal, making the process faster and more convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once approved, scholarship funds are transferred directly into beneficiaries\u2019 bank accounts.Director of the Backward Class Welfare Department, Umesh Pratap Singh, said, “The Yogi Government\u2019s goal is to ensure that no student in the state is deprived of education due to financial constraints. The benefits of various welfare schemes are reaching a large number of students and other eligible beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He further emphasized that the state government remains fully committed to taking education to the last person in society. The Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme aims to provide strong financial support to students from economically weaker sections, enabling them to progress in their educational journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
