Only 9 girls from Roorkee’s urban area have applied for the Nanda Gaura Yojana, prompting the Women Empowerment and Child Development Department to intensify awareness efforts before the November 30 deadline.
The scheme provides an incentive of 51 thousand rupees to eligible girls who have passed Class 12. The financial support is intended to assist girls economically and encourage their education and empowerment.
Urban applications remain low
Applications for the scheme have begun, but participation in Roorkee’s urban area remains limited. In contrast, students in rural areas are showing greater interest and submitting more applications.
The department is contacting eligible girls in the urban area so that a lack of information does not prevent them from receiving the scheme’s benefits. CDPO Krishna Kumar said efforts would continue to help more eligible applicants submit their forms before the deadline.
Eligible applicants can apply online through the official portal at www.nandagaurauk.in. The final date for submitting an application is November 30, giving applicants time to complete the process.
