Education is a powerful tool for societal transformation. However, financial constraints often prevent students from achieving their academic dreams. The Madhya Pradesh government has launched the MPTAAS Scholarship to support students from economically weaker sections, especially those belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC).

This scholarship helps cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other academic costs, enabling students to focus entirely on their studies without financial stress.
