Introduction

Prime Minister’s Scholarship Scheme (PMSS) under the aegis of the National Defence Fund, was introduced from the academic year 2006-07 to encourage higher technical & professional education for the dependent wards & widows of Central Armed Police Forces & Assam Rifles (CAPFs & AR) Personnel. From the academic session 2019-20, this scheme has further been extended for the dependent wards of States/UTs Police Personnel who are martyred during Terror/Naxal attacks.

Number of Scholarship

For each academic year, under PMSS, a total of 2000 new scholarships will be granted in addition to renewal cases of previous year. The 2000 new scholarships are equally distributed between boy /girl applicants (1000 each). The quota of 1000 each fixed for boys and girls is not interchangeable. (In other words, if for example only 750 applications are received from boys, the remaining 250 will not be given to girls). From the academic session 2019- 2020, an additional 500 scholarships are granted to the dependent wards of States/UTs Police personnel who are martyred during Terror/Naxal attacks, equally distributed between boys and girls (250 each).
