Ishan Uday Special Scholarship Scheme
The Ishan Uday Special Scholarship Scheme is a central initiative by the University Grants Commission (UGC) specifically designed to promote higher education among students from the North Eastern Region of India. Launched to bridge the educational gap and encourage professional aspirations, the scheme awards 10,000 fresh scholarships annually for general degree, technical, and professional courses.
