Tamil Nadu Govt to Provide Monthly Scholarship to Girl Students

New Delhi, 21 March 2022 – As per the Tamil Nadu state education budget 2022, the state government has announced that it will offer a monthly scholarship worth INR 1000 to girl students who are studying in government schools of Tamil Nadu.

Tami Nadu government has done this by reshaping the ‘Thalikku Thangam’ scheme – that provides gold and financial assistance for women’s marriages – into a higher education assurance scheme that will provide a monthly scholarship of INR 1000 to girl students. Nearly 6 lakh students are expected to benefit from the new scholarship scheme each year and experts see this as an ideological shift from “compulsory” marriage towards education & employment of women.

Professor S Anandhi, Madras Institute of Development Studies, welcomed the scholarship and noted that the scheme moves in line with Periyar’s vision of women’s emancipation. She noted,  “Indeed [it] is a great departure. The government is moving away from the patriarchal idea of compulsory marriage for women to education and employment.”
