Rajasthan Opens B.Ed. Financial Assistance Scheme for Sahariya Students: Deadlines, Amounts, and Application Process

The Government of Rajasthan has outlined the operational framework and timeline for the Economic Help to Sahariya Students for B.ED Training Scheme. Run by the Commissionerate, College Education Department, Jaipur, the state-funded initiative aims to increase the representation of the Sahariya tribal community—recognized as one of the most backward groups in the region—in government teaching services by supporting them through their Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programs.

Financial Assistance and Course Structure

The scheme provides direct financial support to cover college fees and the purchase of books for regular trainees enrolled in government or non-government B.Ed. institutions. The total financial assistance caps at ₹60,000 per student, distributed according to the structure of the enrolled program:

• Two-year B.Ed. Course: Students receive ₹30,000 per year, totaling ₹60,000 across two years.
• Four-year Integrated B.Ed. Course: Students enrolled after Class 12 receive ₹15,000 annually, totaling ₹60,000 across four years.

The state treasury disburses the approved funds directly into the bank account linked with the student's Jan Aadhaar card, provided their KYC is complete and the account remains active.

Eligibility and Required Documentation

To qualify for the financial assistance, applicants must meet specific criteria established by the Rajasthan College Education Department:

• Belong to the Sahariya tribal community and reside in the Baran district.
• Hold native resident (mool niwasi) status in Rajasthan.
• Be enrolled as a regular trainee in a recognized government or non-government B.Ed. institution.
• Have parents, guardians, or custodians who are not income tax payers.
• Possess valid Aadhaar and Jan Aadhaar cards.

Applicants must submit several documents alongside their online forms, including a self-declaration verifying that their parents or guardians do not pay income tax (certified by a competent authority), a marksheet from the previous class of study, and the official fee receipt from their current institution.

Application Timeline and Online Procedure

Applications for the 2026–27 academic session are scheduled to open on October 1, 2026, and will close on November 30, 2026. Eligible candidates are directed to submit their applications online via the Rajasthan SSO Portal free of charge.

The application workflow proceeds through multiple verification tiers:

• Student Registration: Candidates create an SSO ID utilizing their Jan Aadhaar or Aadhaar credentials, establish a student profile, select the scholarship module, and complete the digital application form.
• College Verification: The head of the training institution reviews uploaded documents against physical originals and forwards verified applications to the district nodal college.
• Sanction: Nodal officers review and grant final approval online, triggering the online billing and treasury transfer process.

Practical Implications and Verification

Students intending to apply should ensure that their personal bank account details are accurately mapped within their Jan Aadhaar profile. If a personal account is unlinked, funds may automatically route to the head of the family's registered account.
