Education shouldn’t be a privilege. It’s a right. And for many students in Gujarat, that right often feels out of reach due to financial hardships. But that’s exactly what the Gyan Sadhana Scholarship Scheme 2025 is here to change.
Launched by the State Education Department of Gujarat, this scheme aims to support bright students from economically weaker families, especially those studying from Class 9 to Class 12. With this initiative, the government wants to ensure that money doesn’t become the reason a child drops out of school.
🌟 What’s the Gyan Sadhana Scholarship All About?
Under this scheme, students who meet the eligibility criteria and clear a competitive exam will receive financial assistance:
-
₹20,000 per year for students in Class 9 and 10
-
₹25,000 per year for students in Class 11 and 12
In total, 25,000 students will be selected every year — which is quite a big number!
And here’s something even better — the amount is transferred directly to the student’s bank account via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). No middlemen. No hidden rules.
🎯 Why This Scheme Matters
Let’s be honest — school fees, books, uniforms, and other educational costs can be too much for many families. Some students are forced to leave school after Class 8 or 10. That’s a harsh reality.
With the Gyan Sadhana Scholarship, the government is saying:
“Don’t stop studying. We’ve got your back.”
