It is also provided by the Central Government and distributed through State Governments. Pre Matric Scholarship is provided to ST, SC, OBC and Minority students of a state who are meritorious students but cannot afford their education.

Even after 51 years of independence and in spite of various measures taken to improve the level of education in the country, literacy levels among backward classes, particularly among women, continues to be extremely low. The number of steps have already been taken by the Government and considerable progress has been achieved in improving the level of literacy and education during the last 51 years, but there is still a long way to go.
