Winning Government of India Scholarships 

For the past four years, we have helped thousands of students to access valuable Government of India scholarships. Many of these programs, despite offering significant benefits, struggle to reach eligible students. We bridge this gap by guiding families through the application process. We provide education, motivation, and practical support. This includes assisting with obtaining essential documents like ID proofs, caste certificates, and income verification. We also help families register and update information on relevant government portals.

National Merit Cum Means Scholarship - NMMS (https://dsel.education.gov.in/scheme/nmmss)

We work with students to help them register, qualify and finally receive the National Merit Cum Means Scholarship (NMMS). Out of 100,000 NMMS scholarships nationally, 15,143 are distributed to Uttar Pradesh students based on the population.

Our progress with NMMS is as follows:

Prior to our intervention in 2021, only 14% (or 2,171) of the 15,143 NMMS scholarships in UP were utilized. Since then, utilization has increased to over 95%. We've prepared students in over 100 schools, leading to improved learning outcomes. Many schools have actively participated in our program, mobilizing students to compete for scholarships. Even those who didn't qualify gained valuable knowledge and identified areas for improvement.

To ensure affordable access to study materials, we subsidize and distribute thousands of NMMS exam guides across UP. This dedication earned recognition from the UP Government's Education Ministry.

Looking forward, we're doubling our commitment for the 2025 NMMS program, aiming to qualify 1,500 students across 200 UP schools.
