BACKGROUND An Expert Group was constituted by the Prime Minister on 18 th August, 2010 in the context of enhancing employment opportunities in Jammu & Kashmir and to formulate jobs plan involving the public and private sectors. Among the key recommendations of the Expert Group, one was to offer 5000 fresh scholarships per annum over the next five years to encourage the youth of J & K to pursue higher studies outside the State of J&K. The proposal arises out of the identified strategy of a human resource development initiative focused on improving skill set through improving access to education. 2. OBJECTIVE To provide tuition fees, hostel fees, cost of books and other incidental charges to students belonging to Jammu & Kashmir who, after passing Class XII or equivalent examination, secure admission in Government
colleges/institutions and other select institutions outside the State of Jammu & Kashmir. 3. SCOPE It is envisaged to provide 5000 fresh scholarship every year over the next five years. Out of these, 4500 scholarships would be for general degree courses, 250 for engineering and 250 for medical studies. The number of scholarships for engineering and medical studies would be kept flexible i.e. more than or less than 250 scholarship per annum, for each of these streams, subject to the ceiling of 5000 fresh scholarships per annum and subject to the savings accruing from any shortfall in the number of students opting for general degree courses. 4.
