Scholarship
Devnarayan Pratibhawan Chhatra Protsahan Yojana(DPCPY)
Overview
About DPCPY
The Devnarayan Pratibhawan Chhatra Protsahan Yojana is a state scholarship in Rajasthan, administered by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department. It sits within the state's Devnarayan group of welfare schemes, which are directed at the Special Backward Classes (SBC) of Rajasthan.
The scheme rewards academic performance. Meritorious students receive an annual cash incentive from the department, intended to encourage academic excellence and continued study. The benefit is paid as cash, rather than as a fee waiver or in-kind support.
It is meant for SBC students in Rajasthan who study at government schools and colleges, across a span of levels from Class 10 up to postgraduate study. Because eligibility is tied to category, the type of institution and the student's academic record, you should read the detailed criteria before you apply.
