Our Assessment

The declaration promised the Vidya Jyothulu Pathakam, providing staged financial assistance to SC and ST students, ranging from Rs 10,000 on passing tenth class up to Rs 5 lakh for those completing MPhil and PhD. No approved-source evidence was found that this scheme has been launched or that any milestone payments have been made to students as of July 2026. Absent verifiable delivery, the verdict is pending. Budget: no approved-source allocation for the scheme was found.
