According to the central government, the Right to Education Act guarantees free instruction for students in grades 1 through 8. In these madrasas, lunch and books are also provided without charge. Additionally, the students are given access to additional necessities. As a result, the scholarship has been terminated.
Scholarships will only be given to Class 9 and 10 students, so their applications should be submitted.
