“A “Chief Minister Research Fellowship (CMRF)” will be established in line with the Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF) to encourage students of Uttarakhand to undertake advanced research within Uttarakhand by a monthly grant of ₹ 40,000 per student.”
Uttarakhand launched the Mukhyamantri Uchcha Shiksha Shodh Protsahan Yojana/CM Higher Education Research Incentive framework through the Higher Education Department and Samarth portal. It supports research with grants, but the verified benefit structure is not a PMRF-like ₹40,000 monthly fellowship per student.

Budget: Research grant support verified; public scheme summaries indicate grants up to ₹15 lakh and lower monthly assistance, not ₹40,000/month.
