Revised Education Scheme For Children Of Artisans/Weavers Of Handicrafts And Handloom Departments(RESCAW)
Overview
About RESCAW
The Revised Education Scheme for Children of Artisans/Weavers of Handicrafts and Handloom Departments is a Jammu and Kashmir government scholarship. It is administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce through the Directorate of Handicrafts and Handloom, and it helps meet the education costs of children whose parents work as artisans or weavers registered with those departments.
The benefit is cash paid by Direct Benefit Transfer to the student, and it works at the level of the family rather than the individual: no more than two children of any one weaver or artisan can draw it. The rate follows the stage of study – ₹1,500 a year up to primary level, ₹2,000 a year for Classes 6 to 10, ₹3,000 a year for Classes 11 and 12, and the actual course fee fixed by the government for technical or professional courses.
Eligibility turns on two tests. The parent must be a weaver or artisan registered with the Handicrafts and Handloom Department and holding a valid registration card. The family must also meet a means condition: a Below Poverty Line, Antyodaya Anna Yojana or Priority Household ration card, an Economically Weaker Section certificate, or parental annual income of ₹90,000 or less. A student who has already taken a Pre-Matric, Post-Matric or Prime Minister's scholarship cannot claim under this scheme.
