What is Scheme for Bihar BPSC Disabled Candidates?
The scheme is officially called the ‘Mukhyamantri Divyangjan Sashaktikaran Yojana’ and it comes under the broader welfare umbrella of the ‘Sambal’ initiative. First, the scheme was only for female disabled candidates but with the latest cabinet discussion, it has been expanded to include all Bihar BPSC disabled candidates irrespective of their gender.
Actually the reward is for all girls irrespective of whether they have a Pwd certificate or not. Also, any category be it SC/ST/EBC/ OBC or general every girl is eligible to get the ₹1.5 lakh cash reward is she clears the BPSC/UPSC examination.
How Much is the Financial Assistance?
The reward is bifurcated into a two-stage incentive:
- ₹50,000 for clearing the preliminary examination of BPSC or UPSC
- Additional ₹1 lakh for candidates who qualify the interview level
This makes it a total of ₹1.5 lakh per candidate. This year, thousands of girls were already awarded the cash prize upon getting selected. What’s attractive about the offer is that even if you are unable to qualify the other levels till the interview – you will still get ₹50,000. This will further urge them to clear the examination as they will get somewhat financial support.
So, if you are eligible or you know someone who’s eligible for the scheme for Bihar BPSC disabled candidates, you must share it with him/her.
