Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has revealed that students in Classes 10 and 12 attending government schools in Uttarakhand will receive financial assistance to purchase tablets. The funds will be directly deposited into the students' bank accounts through a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.


Details of the Tablet Scheme

The Uttarakhand government has made a significant announcement aimed at enhancing digital access for students in government schools. During the 'Mukhyamantri Yuva Vidyarthi Manthan' event, the Chief Minister emphasized that the financial aid would enable students to acquire tablets, thereby improving their access to educational resources and technology.


Eligibility for the Tablet Scheme

The initiative specifically targets students in Classes 10 and 12 within government schools across Uttarakhand. The financial support aims to facilitate the purchase of tablets, allowing students to leverage digital tools for their studies and future opportunities.


Student Participation in the Campaign

The 'Mukhyamantri Yuva Manthan' campaign saw an impressive response, with over 267,000 students contributing essays, ideas, and suggestions. The Chief Minister engaged with 140 selected students, discussing their insights on the future of Uttarakhand.


How to Access the Benefits

Instead of distributing tablets directly, the government will provide funds through DBT for students to purchase their own devices. However, the registration process for accessing these funds has yet to be announced.


Broader Suggestions from Students

Students shared their thoughts on various issues beyond academics, including health, tourism, infrastructure, environmental concerns, sports, and employment opportunities. The Chief Minister expressed a commitment to integrating valuable suggestions from the youth into government policies.
