This entry describes the Saksham scholarship scheme associated with Arvind Fashions Limited for students entering a course at an Industrial Training Institute. Schemes of this type are aimed at candidates taking up vocational trade training after school, where the cost of fees, tools and living away from home can be difficult for a low income family to meet. The reference text held against this record is incomplete and the year in the title has passed, so the entry should be read as a description of the scheme and not as a live call for applications. The award value is not stated here and is published in the official notification.

The scheme is intended for Indian students admitted to, or about to join, a trade course at a recognised Industrial Training Institute, and has generally been open to applicants of any gender. Applicants are usually expected to have completed their secondary school examination with the minimum marks the sponsor specifies and to belong to a household within the family income ceiling fixed for the cycle. Proof of admission to the trade course, previous academic results and an income certificate are normally required. As these conditions are revised between cycles, they should be confirmed from the official scheme notification before an application is prepared.

Applications for this scheme are made online through the scholarship portal named in the current notification, not at the training institute itself. Applicants are normally expected to register with a working mobile number and email address, select the scheme, fill in personal, course and family income details, and upload scanned copies of identity proof, the admission or fee receipt from the institute, school marksheets, a category certificate where relevant, an income certificate and bank account details. Submissions are accepted only until the announced closing date for the cycle. The live form, the document list and the schedule are published on the official portal.
