However, in the year 2020, due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain for procuring laptop computers was severely affected. As a result, instead of providing laptops, the government awarded Rs. 20,000/- (Twenty Thousand Rupees) to the eligible students. This decision was made considering the challenges in the availability and distribution of laptops during that time.
For the current year, the government has decided to transfer Rs. 16,000/- (Sixteen Thousand Rupees) directly to the bank accounts of all eligible students. This monetary assistance aims to support the students in their educational pursuits and provide them with the flexibility to utilize the funds as per their requirements.
