The Yogi Adityanath government has increased the scholarship of students of Sanskrit schools and colleges after 24 years. Let us tell you that the last time the scholarship was revised was in 2001. This decision was taken in the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday. In this meeting, many important decisions were taken for the progress and public welfare of the state.

The Uttar Pradesh government has also decided to give scholarships to all the students studying in more than 500 Sanskrit schools across the state. With this new decision, the condition of the students’ family income being less than Rs 50,000 per annum to get scholarship has been abolished.

After the meeting, Secondary Education Minister Gulab Devi said, “Since most of the children receiving Sanskrit education are from the poor section, now a provision has been made to give scholarships to the students of Prathama i.e. class 6, 7 and 8 under Sanskrit education.” He said that at present there are 517 Sanskrit schools in the state, in which 1,21,573 students are studying.
