What this scheme offers
Introduced by Chief Minister Manik Saha's government, CM-SATH selects 200 students each year based on their performance in the Tripura Board of Secondary Education exams — the top 100 from the Madhyamik (Class 10) level and the top 100 from the Higher Secondary (Class 12) level. Selected students receive ₹5,000 a month, totalling ₹60,000 a year, aimed at supporting continued education for high-achieving students who might otherwise face financial barriers. Madhyamik-level recipients receive the scholarship for 2 years; Higher Secondary-level recipients receive it for 3 years, covering their progression through the next stage of education.
