Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana

What is the Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana?

The Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana. The Chief Minister's Meritorious Minority Girl Incentive Scheme, is run by the Minority Welfare Department, Government of Uttarakhand. Started in the financial year 2015-16, the scheme gives a one-time cash incentive to meritorious girls from minority communities who score well in the Class 10 or Class 12 board examination. Its goal is to encourage minority-community families to keep their daughters in education and to reward academic achievement.

According to the Minority Welfare Department, the scheme rewards girls who secure 60 percent or more marks as institutional candidates in the Uttarakhand Board of Secondary Education High School or Intermediate examination, or in the equivalent Madrasa Board examinations (Munshi/Maulvi for High School and Alim for Intermediate). The incentive is a special grant, not a recurring scholarship, and rises with the marks scored.

The notified minority communities covered are Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain and Parsi. The scheme is sometimes searched by its transliterated name, Mukhya Mantri Alpshankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojna.

Who is eligible for the meritorious minority girl incentive?

You can apply if:

• You are a girl student belonging to a notified minority community: Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain or Parsi.
• You are a resident of Uttarakhand.
• You scored 60 percent or more as an institutional candidate in the Class 10 (High School / Munshi / Maulvi) or Class 12 (Intermediate / Alim) examination.
• You are 20 years of age or younger.

You cannot apply if:

• You are a boy, the scheme is only for girl students.
• You scored below 60 percent in the qualifying examination.
• You appeared as a private or non-institutional candidate.
• You are not from a notified minority community, or not a resident of Uttarakhand.
• You are above the age limit of 20 years.

How much is the incentive worth?

The incentive amount depends on the class and the marks secured:

A girl can qualify twice, once for High School and again for Intermediate, if she crosses 60 percent at each stage. The money is a one-time grant for that result, paid directly into a bank account held in the student's own name.

What documents are required?

How to apply for the incentive online

1. Wait for the board results to be declared and the scheme window to open for that academic year.
2. Go to the Apuni Sarkar portal (also written Aapuni Sarkar) at eservices.uk.gov.in and register or log in.
3. Select the Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana under the Minority Welfare Department services.
4. Fill the application with your personal, community and academic details.
5. Upload your marksheet, minority proof, domicile, Aadhaar and bank passbook.
6. Submit the application and save the reference number for tracking.

Apply from your own account and never pay an agent. The online process is free.

How is the application verified and paid?

Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana runs on a verify-then-pay basis. After a girl submits the online form on the Apuni Sarkar portal, the District Minority Welfare or Social Welfare Office checks the marksheet, the minority-community proof and the Uttarakhand domicile against the uploaded documents. The single most important number is the board percentage: the incentive tier is fixed strictly at 60, 70 and 80 percent, and the office does not round a 59 percent up to the 60 percent band. Once the claim is approved, the grant is transferred by Direct Benefit Transfer into the bank account held in the girl's own name, which is why the account must be active and correctly entered. The scheme started in the financial year 2015-16 and is a special grant rather than a recurring scholarship, so a girl receives it once for her Class 10 result and, if she qualifies again, once more for her Class 12 result.

What counts as valid minority proof?

Mukhyamantri Alpasankhyak Medhwi Balika Protsahan Yojana is open only to the minority communities notified by the Government of India and adopted by Uttarakhand — Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain and Parsi. The applicant proves this either with a minority community certificate or with the declaration format the department accepts for the scheme. A girl who has never obtained such a certificate should arrange it early, because a missing or unaccepted community proof is one of the most common reasons an otherwise strong application is held up. Similarly, the marks must be from an institutional (regular school) candidature; a private candidate's result, even at 80 percent or more, does not qualify. Keeping the marksheet, community proof, domicile, Aadhaar and bank passbook ready in advance lets a girl apply as soon as the window opens after results, which matters because the window is time-bound each year.

How do I check my application status?

Log in to the Apuni Sarkar portal at eservices.uk.gov.in with the same credentials and open your submitted application to see its stage; under verification, approved or paid. You can also enquire at the District Minority Welfare / Social Welfare Office that processes minority scheme payments in your district. Since the incentive is paid by direct transfer, confirm your bank details are correct and Aadhaar-seeded to avoid a failed payment.

Common reasons for rejection and how to fix them

• Marks below 60 percent. The marksheet must clearly show 60 percent or more; the scheme does not round up.
• Private candidate: only institutional (regular school) candidates qualify.
• Minority status not proved; attach a valid community certificate or the required declaration.
• Bank account mismatch. The account must be in the girl's own name and correctly entered.
• Applied after the window closed, the scheme opens for a limited period each year after results; apply promptly.

Key dates and grievance route

The application window opens each academic year after the Class 10 and Class 12 board results are declared, and is announced on the Apuni Sarkar portal and by the Minority Welfare Department. For grievances, use the grievance option on eservices.uk.gov.in, or contact the District Minority Welfare Office. The parent department is the Minority Welfare Department, Government of Uttarakhand (minoritywelfare.uk.gov.in), which is the final escalation point for this incentive.
