madhyapradesh In a bid to provide impetus to all the SC students, Madhya Pradesh government has decided to waive off the fees of students from nursery to PhD from the next academic year.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan made the announcement at an event held in Satna district, while addressing a gathering at Ravidas Kumbh, on the birth anniversary of Saint Ravidas, on Monday. He said that SC category students just needed to concentrate on their studies and not bother about fees payment, as the government would pay their tuition fees in the colleges, which includes all the government engineering as well as medical colleges.

Later, Chauhan also announced that the Madhya Pradesh government would provide foreign study assistance to 50 SC and ST students, increasing the number from 10.

The state government in its endeavor to promote education is also providing new bicycles to SC girl students, who are securing admission in class 11.

Under the state's self-employment scheme, a 30 per cent subsidy, to a maximum of three lakhs is also being provided to Dalit students for setting up industries.
