Arunachal Pradesh Disburses Stipends to 8,501 Higher Education Students

The Education Department of Arunachal Pradesh has successfully disbursed stipends to 8,501 students enrolled in higher education under the state-funded Arunachal Pradesh Stipend Scheme.

Each eligible student will receive a financial grant of ₹16,400, which is being transferred directly into their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. This ensures timely, transparent, and hassle-free disbursement of funds to students across the state.

The scheme is part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to support students financially, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, enabling them to pursue higher education without added financial stress.

Officials from the Education Department confirmed that the entire disbursement process has been streamlined digitally to minimise delays and eliminate middlemen. The initiative is expected to boost student retention and academic performance in colleges and universities across Arunachal Pradesh.

By leveraging DBT and a student-centric approach, the state is reaffirming its commitment to educational equity and empowerment.
