Guideline for Pre-Matric Scholarships to the Other Backward Classes

SCHEME OF PRE-MATRIC SCHOLARSHIPS TO THE OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES FOR STUDIES IN INDIA

1. OBJECTIVE of the scheme in brief:-

Even after 51 years of independence and in spite of various measures taken to improve the level of education in the country, literacy levels   among backward classes, particularly among women, continue to be extremely low. The number of steps have already been taken by the Government and considerable progress has been achieved in improving the level of literacy and education during the last 51 years, but there is till a long way to go before      respectable levels of literacy are achieved, It has been recognized now that education and economic support for backward Classes has not been adequate and there is disparity between them and the non-backward sections of 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 group i.e. backward classes toprovide 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 schools as they often have to provide a helping hand to their parents in traditional occupation 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 children belonging to Weaker Section amongst OBCs has been formulated with the object in view.
