Raipur. The "Chief Minister's Naunihal Scholarship Scheme" has emerged as a new ray of hope for the working class families of Chhattisgarh, who dream big despite limited resources. An example of this is the family of Mrs. Pratibha Nishad, a registered construction worker living in Ward No. 6 of Mohla, whose son, Nehal Nishad, has received a scholarship under this scheme.

This support has been a lifeline for Pratibha Nishad, who dreams of providing a better education for her children despite financial constraints. Nehal's scholarship has not only eased his academic burden but also boosted his confidence. Now, he is pursuing his goal with even greater enthusiasm.

Under this scheme, run by the Labor Department, students from Class 1 through postgraduate, professional, and research programs are provided with assistance ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 rupees. Significantly, there are no marks requirements, allowing more children from working-class families to benefit. The success of this scheme in the Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district can be gauged from the fact that the target was to benefit 800 students in the 2025-26 academic year. However, through departmental efforts, 2,856 students were approved, representing 357 percent of the target.
