Taking the geo-political discrimination against students belonging to Schedules Castes and Schedules Tribes, the government of Goa launched a variant policy to waive the fee for higher education for the students. While there are several measures taken by the government of India to keep children in school till the 8th and 10th grades, the students face difficulty in managing their education after the 10th and 12th board exams. The unique policy by the Government of Goa states, “This Scheme is framed in order to provide free access to every SC/ST student, to the institutions of higher learning. It shall be the endeavour of the Government to see that no eligible SC/ST students are deprived of higher education for want of resources.” View the complete scheme notification below:
