Rehabilitation of Cured Leprosy Persons: Pre & Post-Matric Scholarship(RCPPPMS)
Overview
About RCPPPMS
The Rehabilitation of Cured Leprosy Persons: Pre & Post-Matric Scholarship is a state scholarship run by the Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Department (SSEPD) of the Government of Odisha. It sits within the department's wider Rehabilitation of Cured Leprosy Persons programme, which the SSEPD lists among its welfare schemes.
The scholarship is a cash benefit meant to help families affected by leprosy keep their children in education. As the department frames it, the support goes to parents of cured leprosy persons so they can bring up their children against societal intolerance, stigma, discrimination and violence. It is offered at two stages, pre-matric for school-level study and post-matric for study beyond Class 10.
Because it is a state-level scheme, the benefit reaches only eligible applicants in Odisha who meet the department's conditions. It sits alongside the SSEPD's other measures for cured leprosy persons, including pension and marriage-incentive support. The full eligibility rules and the documents you need to apply are published on the myScheme portal.
