Our Assessment

low

The manifesto promised Rs 25 lakh in financial assistance for SC, ST, BC and Minority students pursuing higher education abroad. This is distinct from the Vidya Jyothulu Pathakam (SC/ST) and Abdul Kalam Taufa-e-Taleem (minority) schemes, which cover MPhil and PhD study at a lower Rs 5 lakh level rather than a dedicated Rs 25 lakh overseas study grant. No approved-source evidence was found that this specific Rs 25 lakh overseas assistance scheme has been introduced as of July 2026. Absent verifiable delivery, the verdict is pending. Budget: no approved-source allocation for this scheme was found.
