In a significant step towards promoting girls’ education, the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) has announced the launch of the “Swargiya Jyoti Kalani Scholarship Scheme”, named in honor of the late former MLA and Mayor, Jyoti Kalani.
The decision was taken during a special general body meeting held as part of the municipal budget discussions. The scheme aims to provide financial support to girl students and encourage them to continue their education without interruption.
Key Highlights of the Scheme
- Beneficiaries: Girl students studying from 7th to 12th standard
- Scholarship Amount: ₹500 per month
- Implementing Authority: Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC)
This initiative is being seen as a progressive move to uplift the educational status of girls in the city. By offering consistent financial assistance, the scheme is expected to reduce dropout rates and motivate families to support their daughters’ schooling.
Local residents and education advocates have welcomed the announcement, calling it a “timely and impactful decision.” With rising educational expenses, even a modest monthly aid can make a meaningful difference for many families.
The scheme is expected to be implemented soon, with further details regarding application procedures and eligibility criteria likely to be announced by UMC in the coming days.
