Ministry of Education Reviews National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship Implementation

The Ministry of Education, through its Department of School Education and Literacy, held a workshop to review the National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship Scheme (NMMSS) on December 6, 2025. The scheme aims to provide scholarships to meritorious students from economically weaker sections to reduce dropout rates after Class VIII and encourage students to complete their education. The workshop focused on assessing the scheme's performance from 2021 to 2025 and developing strategies for better implementation. A significant outcome was the emphasis on enhancing collaboration between central and state authorities to ensure the scholarships reach the intended beneficiaries.
