India has a dream of becoming a Knowledge Super Power and it wishes to achieve the dream in near future. While the central government is virtually on its toes towards providing proper education to many and availing education for a lot of others, there still are a lot in which they miss out. In order to bridge that gap and provide facilities to those, some of the State governments step in. One such government is that of Delhi. The Delhi government provides tuition fee reimbursement to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students among many other schemes.
What is this scheme?
The Department of Welfare of SC,ST,OBC and Minorities of the government of Delhi provides this facility to scheduled caste and scheduled tribe students who are either studying in or seeking admission in a recognized public/convent school as day scholars in Delhi. Under this scheme students from the mentioned categories can avail a full tuition fee reimbursement from the government for studying Class 11 and 12th after having passed class 10 exam from same or any other recognized school under the Government of Delhi.
