Kanyashree
Kanyashree Prakalpa is one of the most cherished schemes of the Government of West Bengal for Un-married girls of classes VIII-XII within the age group 13-18 years.
Kanyashree is a revolutionary project with the potential for checking child marriages; encouraging girls education and enhancing nutrition of adolescent girls.
All the girl-students enrolled in the regular courses of post-graduation, whether single or married, may apply for financial assistance for pursuing post graduate studies under K-3 component of the Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme, scoring at least 45% marks in Graduation.
Annual scholarship K1 and one time grant K2 under Kanyashree have been fixed by Govt. Initially the uploading of forms was satisfactory but right now the process has been slowed down due to non availability of filled in forms.
