Education is primary for human beings. An educated individual is a useful resource for our world. They can act wisely and contribute to the development of the world. Do you think education is affordable for everyone? Let’s talk about India. Though our government made primary education free for children, there are plenty of parents who can’t afford to send their children to school. Poverty is ruining our future generation. Unfortunately, many children at a quite younger age are forced to work to support their family. Hence, the right to education is denied for them.

Numerous bright students have to lead a difficult life since their parents can’t afford to send them to school. Keeping this in view, our government has incorporated many policies to make education available for these students. Students who secure great scores can avail scholarships for higher education. This will help them to overcome their difficulties, attain a degree or post-graduation and lead a better life. Let’s see a few scholarships offered by our government to the brighter students from economically weaker sections of the society;
