The National Overseas Scholarship scheme was initiated in the
year 2002. Under the scheme financial assistance is provided to the selected
candidates for pursuing Master level courses and PhD abroad in the specified
fields of study in Engineering, Management, Pure Sciences, Agricultural Science,
and Medicine. Thirty scholarships are awarded every year under the scheme.
Twenty seven of them are for students belonging to scheduled castes, two for
denotified, nomadic and semi nomadic tribes and one
for landless agricultural labourers and traditional
artisans.
