The Aikyashree Scholarship is a pioneering and transformative initiative by the Government of West Bengal, conceived with a profound commitment to educational equity and social empowerment. It stands as a cornerstone of the state’s endeavor to ensure that no talented student from a minority or economically disadvantaged background is deprived of quality education due to financial constraints.
Managed and implemented through the West Bengal Minorities’ Development and Finance Corporation (WBMDFC), the Aikyashree Scholarship consolidates multiple state and centrally-sponsored schemes into a single, streamlined portal. This integration simplifies access and amplifies impact, providing a continuum of financial support from the primary school level up to postgraduate studies.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission: To identify, support, and empower meritorious students from minority communities (Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Parsi, and Jain) and economically backward families by providing direct financial assistance for their academic pursuits, thereby reducing dropout rates and fostering academic excellence.
Vision: To build an inclusive and enlightened society where every individual, irrespective of socio-economic background, has the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential and contribute meaningfully to the progress of West Bengal and the nation.
