The Rajasthan government has opened applications for the Aapki Beti Yojana , a scholarship program designed to help girl students from poor families continue their education. This scheme provides financial support to ensure that money problems do not stop girls from studying. Eligible students can apply online for this annual scholarship.
The main goal of the Aapki Beti Yojana is to support girls whose families live below the poverty line (BPL) or girls who have lost one or both parents. The government wants to encourage more girls to stay in school and reduce the number of students who drop out early. By providing yearly money, the scheme aims to improve education levels for girls across Rajasthan.
Scholarship Amounts
Under the Aapki Beti Yojana, different amounts of scholarship money are given based on the student's class:
| Student Class | Yearly Scholarship Amount |
| Class 1 to Class 8 | ₹2,100 |
| Class 9 to Class 12 | ₹2,500 |
This money is given every year to help cover school-related costs, making it easier for girls to attend classes without financial stress on their families. The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan, oversees these scholarship amounts.
