Gaon Ki Beti Yojana is a Madhya Pradesh state scholarship for village girls who go on to a degree after Class 12. The Government of Madhya Pradesh runs it. Students file their forms online on the portal, on the dates the scheme sets each year. Payment reaches the student’s bank account only after the application is accepted.
The scheme gives a fixed monthly amount for 10 months. The rate depends on the course. The district page gives 2005 as the year the scheme began.
What you get
General (conventional) courses get Rs. 500 a month for 10 months, which is Rs. 5,000 a year. Technical and medical education gets Rs. 750 a month for 10 months, which is Rs. 7,500 a year. The district page does not show which year these rates apply to.

| Technical and medical education | Rs. 750 for 10 months | Rs. 7,500 |
