Scholarship
Financial Assistance To Pre-primary School In Remote Areas(Fappsra)
Overview
About Fappsra
This is a Government of Goa scheme that funds the setting up and running of pre-primary schools in remote tribal areas of the state that have no early-education facility nearby. It supports the school itself rather than a student directly, covering the premises, the small staff who run the class, and the basic material such a class needs.
The help is bundled together: recurring rent for the premises of up to ₹2,000 a month, a fixed monthly remuneration for one teacher and one helper, a snack allowance of ₹300 per student a month, and grants for teaching aids and toys. The aim is to let Scheduled Tribe children in isolated villages begin schooling within their own locality instead of going without.
Because the money is tied to operating a school, the applicant is a school, an NGO, or a trained teacher that sets one up, not an individual family. The children it reaches come from Scheduled Tribe households in remote pockets of Goa where a pre-primary school would not otherwise run.
