The Samagra Shiksha scheme is a Government of India initiative to promote inclusive and equitable quality education in rural and underserved areas. It supports school education from pre-primary to senior secondary levels by improving infrastructure, access, and learning outcomes. The scheme aims to reduce disparities and ensure every child in rural India receives a meaningful education.

Students enrolled in government or government-aided schools in rural areas are eligible. Priority is given to children from marginalized communities such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD). No specific income or marks criteria are mentioned; eligibility is determined by school enrollment and regional focus.

Apply through the nearest government or government-aided school in your rural area. Schools facilitate enrollment under the scheme based on local needs. No separate application is required on the student’s part. For further details, refer to the official scheme document available on the Ministry of Education’s website.
