Overview
About APMSSPEUO
The Award of Pre-matric Scholarship to the Students Whose Parents Are Engaged in Unclean Occupation is a school-level scholarship run by the Adi Dravidar Welfare and Scheduled Tribes Welfare Department of the Government of Puducherry. It is a Union Territory-level scheme administered by the Puducherry government, and the support reaches beneficiaries as a cash payment of ₹1,850 a year.
The scheme is directed at schoolchildren in the Union Territory of Puducherry whose parents work in occupations classed as unclean, such as scavenging, flaying or tanning. Either or both parents being engaged in such work is what defines eligibility. Its stated purpose is to help these students stay in school through the pre-matric years, from Class 1 to Class 10.
The department that runs it, Adi Dravidar Welfare and Scheduled Tribes Welfare, handles welfare work for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities in Puducherry. Applications are made offline: you collect the prescribed form from the department office or sub-office, submit it with the required documents, and ask for a dated acknowledgement. Because the exact documents and the current benefit can change between cycles, confirm the details on the official scheme listing before you apply.
