Pragyan Bharati Scooty Scheme
The Pragyan Bharati Scheme, launched by the Government of Assam in 2020, is a merit-based initiative aimed at encouraging academic excellence among Higher Secondary (HS) students. Initially, the scheme provided electric or petrol-based scooters to meritorious girl students who passed the HS Final Examination with First Division. However, starting from the year 2025, the scope of the scheme has been expanded. Under the revised criteria, all students—regardless of gender—who secure 80% or more marks in the Higher Secondary Final Examination 2025, conducted by the Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB), will be eligible to receive a scooter as a reward for their academic achievement.
Widely known as the Assam HS Scooty Scheme, the Pragyan Bharati Scooty Scheme continues to be a significant step toward promoting higher education and student motivation across the state. On 8th May 2025, the Higher Education Department of Assam issued an official notification detailing the eligibility criteria for the Dr. Bani Kanta Kakati Merit Award, which is offered under this scheme. As per the notification, students achieving 80% or higher in the Assam HS Final Examination Results are entitled to receive the award, which will be distributed by the department. This initiative not only acknowledges academic excellence but also supports mobility and independence among deserving students.
