Residential School Scheme

The Residential School Scheme was initiated by the Social Justice & Empowerment Department in 1997-98. The primary objective of this scheme is to provide quality education from classes 6 to 12 in a clean and good environment for talented students from economically weaker families belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, as well as children from families involved in begging and other undesirable activities. Currently, 32 residential schools are operational in the state.

• Hostel facility
• Free education
• Meals and snacks
• School uniforms
• Textbooks and writing materials

Children from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in BPL families can apply. After filling the available seats, children from families with an annual income of less than 800,000 INR can also apply.
