Overview

About STGCA

The ST Girl Child Literacy Incentive for Class 11 is a scholarship of the Government of Madhya Pradesh for Scheduled Tribe girl students. It is meant for girls who have passed Class 10 and are moving into Class 11.

The aim is to keep Scheduled Tribe girls in education past Class 10 and into higher secondary school. The benefit is a cash incentive credited directly to the student's own bank account through direct benefit transfer.

Support is limited to girl students who belong to a Scheduled Tribe, are permanent residents of Madhya Pradesh, and are studying as regular students after clearing Class 10. Students from other categories, other states, or other classes fall outside its scope.
