To promote research and higher education in Bihar, the state government is now gearing up to provide financial assistance to boys after girl students. The Higher Education Department is working on a scheme to provide an incentive amount of Rs 10,000 per month to PhD researchers. Currently, this amount is being given to girl students under the Chief Minister’s Girls PhD Fellowship. Now, on similar lines, consideration is being given to starting a scheme for students or expanding the existing scheme. This will help researchers in their study and research expenses.

Students will get 10 thousand rupees per month

Bihar government is preparing to provide financial assistance of Rs 10,000 per month to PhD students. The higher education department is preparing the outline of this scheme. This will lay down rules regarding eligibility, selection process, number of seats and allocation of amount.

Bihar Lok Bhavan had also suggested this proposal to the Higher Education Department. The department has shown a positive attitude in this regard. However, the final approval and official announcement of the scheme is still pending.

Application and selection rules will be announced later

After the scheme is approved, the application process for students can be started. Along with this, the eligibility conditions and selection process will also be announced.
