Student Housing Scheme for Students with Disabilities(SHSSD)
Overview
About SHSSD
The Student Housing Scheme for Students with Disabilities is a Madhya Pradesh state scheme that arranges free residential accommodation for students with disabilities who are continuing their education beyond school. The Madhya Pradesh government runs it through its social welfare department, the arm of the state that handles social justice and disability welfare.
The support is given in kind rather than as cash. Under the scheme the government houses a group of five students with disabilities together in a rented building at no cost to them, so that the difficulty of finding affordable lodging near a college does not keep them from studying further.
It is meant for students with disabilities who are residents of Madhya Pradesh and are studying beyond school, away from home. The eligibility conditions are set and administered by the department at the district level, so students should confirm the current requirements and documents before applying.
