Opening And Running Junior Colleges For VJNT Students Run By Voluntary Agencies(ORJCVSRVA)
Overview
About ORJCVSRVA
Opening and Running Junior Colleges for VJNT Students Run by Voluntary Agencies is a state welfare scheme of the Government of Maharashtra. It is run by the Social Justice and Special Assistance Department and was introduced through a government resolution dated 26 June 2008.
The scheme supports voluntary agencies to open and operate junior colleges for students from the Vimukta Jatis and Nomadic Tribes (VJNT) communities. Its stated purpose is the educational and social development of these students. The benefit is provided in kind, through schooling and institutional support, rather than as a cash payment.
It is meant for VJNT students in Maharashtra who study at junior colleges run by the participating agencies. Because the support flows through those recognised agencies, it follows enrolment at an eligible college rather than an open individual grant.
