Sant Ravidaas Shiksha Protsaahan Yojana(SRSPY)
Overview
About SRSPY
Eligibility for the Sant Ravidas Shiksha Protsahan Yojana is settled on the parent's registration papers before anyone opens the child's result. It is run by the Uttar Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, which holds the labour card every claim here is filed against, and it pays a lump sum by class or course to at most two children of a worker whose registration is live. The published slabs start at Rs 2,000 for a child in classes 1 to 5 and reach Rs 1,00,000 for research, with the full fee reimbursed for study at an IIM, IIT, NIT, NIFT or a National Law University (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
The state Labour Department runs three welfare bodies, and only one of them issues the card this scheme reads: the construction workers' board is listed there beside the Shram Kalyan Parishad and the Unorganized Workers Social Security Board (Labour Department, Uttar Pradesh). The claim is filed against a construction worker's registration number, so a Parishad card or an unorganized-worker registration is the wrong paper at this counter. The scheme is an incentive to keep a construction worker's child in school and then push them into higher and professional study, so the amount rises sharply once the child leaves school, and girls are paid more than boys at both merit milestones.

Calendar
Important dates
The board announces neither an opening date nor a last date here. What governs instead is 1 July, because the child's age is read against the class band on that day every year, so a student sitting near the top of a band is better filing in the cycle before a birthday carries them out of it. Everything else follows the academic calendar rather than a notification: the claim becomes possible once the result is out and admission to the next class has been taken.
Districts publish the outcome afterwards. Jaunpur, for instance, lists a year-wise beneficiary list for the scheme for 2022-23 on its labour department page (Jaunpur district administration), so a family that wants to see whether their claim was passed in a given year can look for the same list on their own district site.

Eligibility criteria
The parent is tested before the child is. The worker's registration with the board has to be active and updated, and at least one year, counted as 365 days of membership, must have been completed after registration before any claim is made. The child's Aadhaar has to be authenticated, and the institution has to be recognised by an education board or university that the government has validly set up (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
The age test is the one families miss, because it is not read on the day of applying. Age is reckoned on 1 July of each year and it is banded by class, so a student in classes 9 to 12 has to be inside a band that closes at 18 years on that date, and a graduate or postgraduate student inside one that closes at 25 years. Three routes carry a relaxation to 35 years: MBBS and a postgraduate medical degree or diploma from a government institution, research in any subject, and study at an IIM, IIT, NIT, NIFT or a National Law University (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text). A third child is outside the scheme whatever the marks: the benefit is payable to two children of a registered worker.

Who cannot apply
Exclusions
No exclusion list is published for this scheme, but the eligibility and document rules disqualify in practice: a lapsed or unrenewed registration, a membership period short of the year, a third child, an age outside the band on 1 July, an institution without recognition, and any study for which a comparable state or central scheme has already paid, which the applicant has to rule out in a self-declaration (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
Continuation
Renewal conditions
There is no continuing scholarship here to keep alive. The award attaches to a class or a course level and is released on passing that stage and taking admission to the next one, so a family files a fresh claim at each rung the child climbs. The parent's card has to be live on each occasion, which in practice means the labour card has been renewed on the board's portal before the fresh claim goes in (UPBOCW worker portal). One stage is treated differently: for a postgraduate degree, the condition of taking admission to the next class does not apply (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
What you get
Award & benefits
Every amount is a one-time payment for that stage of study, not an annual grant.
| Stage of study | Amount payable |
|---|---|
| Classes 1 to 5 | Rs 2,000 |
| Classes 6 to 10 | Rs 2,500 |
| Classes 11 and 12 | Rs 3,000 |
| Graduate course or equivalent | Rs 12,000 |
| ITI, polytechnic or vocational course | Rs 12,000 |
| Professional degree course of two years or longer | Fee payable or Rs 60,000, whichever is less |
| Postgraduate degree course | Rs 24,000 |
| Research in any subject | Rs 1,00,000 |
| MBBS and postgraduate medical degree or diploma at a government institution | Full fee reimbursed |
| IIM, IIT, NIT, NIFT or National Law University | Full fee reimbursed |
Two things in that table are worth reading closely. The professional degree slab is capped, not fixed: the board pays the fee actually charged or Rs 60,000, whichever is the smaller figure, so a course billing less than the cap draws only what it bills. And the scheme's own list of qualifying professional courses runs wider than the summaries in circulation: Law with LLB and LLM, Fine Arts with BFA, and Agriculture sit in it alongside the management, engineering, computer application, education, design, journalism, pharmacy, hospitality, medical, nursing, finance and architecture families (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
On top of the slab, the board pays a merit amount that is deliberately larger for girls. Passing high school or intermediate with 70 percent marks and taking admission to the next class earns a boy Rs 5,000 and a girl Rs 8,000; passing graduation or post-graduation with 60 percent earns a boy Rs 10,000 and a girl Rs 12,000 (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text). The bicycle subsidy is separate again, and it is allowed once in a child's whole school career, after passing class 9, 10, 11 or 12 and entering the next class.

What to prepare
Documents required
The paperwork is built around countersignature, and who signs depends on where the child studies. Marksheets for classes 1 to 8 from council primary, upper primary or government schools are accepted as self-attested copies. From class 9 to 12 the vouchers and bills are countersigned by the school principal, in degree classes by the Dean of Student Welfare or the Provost, and in vocational courses by the competent officer for that course. If the child studies outside Uttar Pradesh, the marksheet and the next-class certificate additionally need the signature of the District Inspector of Schools or an equivalent officer of the district concerned (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).
The one to prepare early is the parent's side of the file: an employment or self-declaration certificate, on the prescribed format, of having worked in building and other construction processes during the past 12 months. The published text sets that condition as a minimum number of days in those months without printing the figure, so ask the district labour office what count they will accept before the certificate is drawn up.
Step by step
How to apply
The application runs on the board's own worker portal rather than on a general scholarship site. The board now sends worker registration and scheme services to labour.upbocw.in, where a registered worker signs in with the labour card, opens the schemes list, picks Sant Ravidas Shiksha Protsahan Yojana, and uploads the marksheet, the next-class fee receipt and the countersigned vouchers. The same portal carries a Common Service Centre login that files the education claim for a worker who is not filing it themselves.
That same login is where the claim is then followed. The portal carries an education application through a fixed sequence, and the stage names say plainly who is holding the file: submitted, then verification by the labour enforcement officer, then sanction by the Assistant Labour Commissioner, then the treasury stage that releases the money (UPBOCW worker portal). Families who cannot get into the login have a second route, because the board's public site answers the same question through the scheme-application-status lookup in its Schemes menu (Scheme Application Status, UPBOCW).

How winners are picked
Selection process
A claim here is measured against the rules and never against other claims. The published text sets an eligibility test and a verification chain, not a merit list, so a claim that clears the registration, membership, age, institution and two-child conditions is decided on its own file rather than against other applicants (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text), with the sanction itself sitting at the Assistant Labour Commissioner's desk (UPBOCW worker portal). Marks enter only through the incentive amounts at 70 percent and 60 percent, which top up an award already settled on eligibility.
Fine print
Terms & conditions
The two-child limit is written against the worker, not against the year, so a household with three children in school has to choose which two claims to file. The bicycle subsidy is a once-only benefit. The self-declaration that no similar scheme run by the state or the central government has already paid for the same study is compulsory, so a child drawing another government award for the same year of the same course has to account for it rather than file both quietly. Underneath all of it sits the registration itself: the board's first eligibility condition asks for a card that is registered and actively updated, not one that merely existed when the child sat the exam (Ghaziabad district administration, scheme text).

A filed claim is chased wherever it is being held, which for this scheme means the labour enforcement officer verifying it or the Assistant Labour Commissioner sanctioning it, both reached through the local labour office (UPBOCW worker portal). The department itself works from Bapu Bhawan, Lucknow 226001, and publishes a toll free number, 1800-180-5160, with landlines on 0512-2295176 and 0512-2297142 for workers' grievances (Labour Department, Uttar Pradesh).
