About National Scheme Of Incentive To Girls For Secondary Education
This scheme aims to enrol girls aged 14-18 at the secondary stage who cleared Class 8 but then dropped out for socio-economic reasons, and to keep them in school through Class 12. Back in 2004-05, roughly 50.8% of girls dropped out between Classes 1 and 8, and about 64% dropped out between Classes 1 and 10 that same year — meaning only 36% of the country’s girl students made it to Class 10. Several socio-economic factors drive this, but parents’ inability to afford their daughter’s education stands out as a major cause.

Exclusions / Who Is Not Eligible
1. Married girls will be excluded from the scheme.
2. Girl children studying in private unaided schools are proposed to be excluded since a majority of such schools charge high fees and therefore, parents of such girl students may not require the financial assistance that is being offered under this scheme.
3. Students enrolled in schools run by Central Government are also being excluded from the scheme, as these children are either fully provided for already, or are those of Central Government employees, who can afford the education of their children, without further support.
