Great news for the children of Bundelkhand! Now the government will give ₹ 6000 every year if the school is away, directly into your account!

Bundelkhand education scheme: There is a very big and relief news for the dear students of Bundelkhand and their parents! We all know how far away schools are in many villages of Bundelkhand, and children have to walk or cycle for hours every day. The government has now understood this problem.

The state government has started a great scheme, under which if your government school is 5 kilometers or more away from home, then you will be given an assistance of Rs 6000 annually. This money will come directly into your or your parent’s bank account, so that you can use the bus or other means of transportation to and from school.

This scheme is especially for children from class 9 to 12. Thousands of children from districts like Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda and Sonbhadra will get direct benefits from this.

How to apply? (Don’t worry, the method is very easy)

Taking advantage of this scheme has been made very simple:

• All you need to do is fill out a simple form.
• In this form you will have to state that there is no other government school within a radius of 5 kilometers of your home.
• In the village: The village head will check and confirm your form.
• In the city: This responsibility will be of the councillor.
• Your school principal will also verify it.

Once this verification is completed, the money will start coming directly into your bank account. The first installment is expected to be received from the month of September. Everything will be done online and in a clean manner, so that no one faces any problem.

There’s just one small condition!

The government is providing this help so that children come to school every day and study diligently. Therefore, to avail the benefits of this scheme, you will have to maintain good attendance in school. If a student continues to be absent from school, his next installment may be withheld. Its objective is clear – to encourage children to come to school every day.

What is the real benefit of this scheme?

Imagine, now children will not have to walk for hours in the scorching heat or cold. With the help of Rs 6000, they will be able to easily go to school by taking bus or auto. Both their time and energy will be saved, due to which they will be able to concentrate more on their studies.

This scheme is even better for girls, because it will increase their security and parents will not hesitate in sending them to school far away. This scheme will also prevent children in villages from dropping out of studies.

This is really a very good initiative, which can change the picture of education in areas like Bundelkhand. So, get your papers ready, applications will be starting soon!
