Scholarships for Students Who Are SC/ST/OBC: In order to help the bright kids advance, the Indian government has improved education reform in several ways. Even while all children are the nation's future, the government works especially hard to ensure the welfare of these kids who come from underprivileged backgrounds.

In order to remove any obstacles from their further education, the Ministry of Social Empowerment and Welfare of the Government of India administers a number of scholarship and fellowship programs for deserving children of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Backward Classes. Today, we're going to discuss several fellowships and scholarships that are accessible to students in restricted categories, such as OBC and SC/ST students.
