Grant in Aid Ashramshala

The Grant in Aid Ashramshala scheme was implemented by the state government to address the low education rate among tribal children in remote forest areas and hilly regions. Initiated in 1953-54, this scheme aims to provide quality education and instill good values through voluntary organizations. The government offers grants for management and salaries to enhance the education of tribal children and facilitate their integration into broader society.

• Admission to Ashram Schools is exclusively for tribal children.
• Quality education is provided for children from standards 1 to 8.
• Upper Primary Ashram Schools cater to standards 9 to 10.
• Higher Secondary Ashram Schools serve standards 11 to 12.
• Students receive free accommodation and meals.
• Provisions such as uniforms, soap, oil, books, and other necessary supplies are provided.

This scheme is open to all tribal children from Balvatika and standards 1 to 12, regardless of social and economic status.
