The Pragati Scholarship Scheme for girls is a Government of India initiative aimed at advancing girls' participation in technical education. The scholarship focuses on encouraging female students to pursue technical education by eliminating the financial burdens associated with technical courses. The Pragati Scholarship Scheme was launched in 2014 by the MHRD and implemented by the AICTE (All Indian Council for Technical Education). The scholarship offers financial support and assistance of up to Rs. 50,000 per year to eligible female students hailing from economically weaker sections of society. Eligible female students enrolled in technical degree courses such as architecture, engineering, and pharmacy can apply for the Pragati Scholarship Scheme.
