Chandigarh: Reaffirming the Punjab Government’s unwavering commitment to making quality education accessible to every child, Social Justice, Empowerment and Minorities Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur said that the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Government is continuously strengthening scholarship support to ensure that financial hardship does not prevent Scheduled Caste (SC) students from pursuing their education.
The Cabinet Minister said that the scheme is enabling thousands of children from economically weaker Scheduled Caste families to continue their studies without financial stress. She emphasised that education is the strongest foundation for social empowerment and plays a transformative role in creating equal opportunities for every child.

She added that expanding educational opportunities for SC students is an important step towards building an inclusive, progressive and Rangla Punjab.
