Description

The Tamil Nadu government announced a monthly deposit of Rs 1,000 in the bank accounts of female students on Friday in an effort to encourage more girls to pursue and complete higher education without financial constraints. According to Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, this move will benefit approximately six lakh girls.

"A sum of Rs 698 crore has been allotted for this scheme," he said during the presentation of the Budget for 2022-23.

According to the announcement, all girls in government schools from grades 6 to 12 would be paid Rs 1,000 till they completed their undergraduate degree, diploma, or ITI courses without interruption. According to the Minister, students would be eligible for this scheme in addition to other scholarships.

Recognizing the low enrolment ratio of girls from government schools in higher education, he announced the transformation of the Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Memorial Marriage Assistance Scheme into the Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education Assurance Scheme.

According to the Minister, the existing schemes of EVR Maniammaiyar Memorial Widow's Daughter Marriage Assistance Scheme, Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Memorial Inter-Caste Marriage Assistance Scheme, Annai Teresa Orphan Girls Marriage Assistance Scheme, and Dr. Dharmambal Ammaiyar Memorial Widow Remarriage Assistance Scheme will be continued.
