The Centrally Sponsored Scheme ‘National Scheme of Incentive to Girls for Secondary Education’ was launched in May 2008 to improve enrolment and retention of girls belonging to weaker sections at the secondary level. It covers all the SC/ST girls below 16 years of age joining class nine in Government and Government-aided schools and all girls passing standard VIII form Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas schools.

As per the scheme, a sum of Rs 3,000 is deposited by the Ministry in the name of eligible girls at the time of enrolment to Class IX as fixed deposit. After successful completion of class-X and attaining 18 years of age, the amount along with accrued interest will be automatically credited to the accounts of the students through the web-portal developed by the bank. Canara bank is the implementing agency for the scheme.

Last year in October, Canara Bank held an awareness programme for the beneficiaries of a loan scheme for unemployed youth belonged to SC/ST communities in alliance with Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation.
