A total of Rs. 184.81 crore was spent on the Dr. b. r. ambedkar Overseas vidya Nidhi Scheme, which helped 1046 students pursue higher education overseas.
The government intends to provide financial aid to sc students who choose to pursue higher education in reputable institutions located in other States as well. Dalit Bandhu and the 125-foot-tall bronze monument of Dr. b. r. ambedkar were ground-breaking projects that supported the government's commitment to the welfare of scheduled castes.
