Ex-Servicemen Education Grant – Bacchon/Widows ke Liye Guide
Ex-Servicemen aur unki widows ke bachchon ke liye monthly education grant: eligibility, documents, twin/exception rules aur online apply process (KSB portal) — sab kuch asaan bhaasha mein.
🇮🇳 Scheme Ka Sankshipt Parichay
Yeh scheme 1981 mein shuru hui thi taaki Ex-Servicemen (ESM) aur unki widows ke dependent bachchon ki padhai mein madad mile. Pehle sirf chhoti rakam thi, lekin Oct 2011 mein isko revise karke ab ₹1000 per child per month (maximum do bachchon tak) tak kar diya gaya hai — graduation tak ke liye. Widows ko post-graduation tak bhi madad di ja sakti hai.
Dhyaan: Yeh grant professional/technical courses (jaise MBBS, B.Tech, engineering diploma vagairah) ke liye applicable nahi hai.
🎯 Scheme Ka Maksad
Is scheme ka mukhya aim hai ki Havildar rank aur usse neeche se retire hue jawan (ya unki widows) ke do dependent bachche (special conditions mein teen) ki padhaai mein madad mil sake — jab tak wo graduation complete karein. Widows ke liye 2-year post-graduation bhi covered hai.
✅ Kaun Eligible Hai?
- Applicant ESM, widow ya orphan dependent hona chahiye.
- Rank: Havildar ya equivalent aur usse neeche (Army/Navy/Air Force).
- Course level: Class 1 se Class 12 aur undergraduate (graduation). Widows ke liye 2-year post-graduation allowed.
- Applicant ko State ya employer se koi education allowance nahi milna chahiye.
- Grant sirf pehle do bachchon ke liye — twin/exception rules alag hain (neeche dekhein).
👶 Twin & Special Case Rules
- Agar 1st aur 2nd child twins hain → dono eligible hain (maximum do bachche ka rule).
- Agar 2nd aur 3rd child twins hain → dono twins aur 1st child eligible ho sakte hain (total 3) — is case mein pehle twins ka application fill karein, phir 3rd child ka separate application bharna hoga.
- Agar pehle ya dusre child ka dehant ho jata hai, to next child (discharge book ke hisaab se) eligible ho jayega — death certificate attach karna zaruri hai.
📁 Kaunse Documents Chahiye?
Apply online karte waqt in scanned documents ko upload karna hota hai. Saari copies ZSWO/ZSB se attest karva ke rakhni chahiye.

🔍 Example (Asaan Bhasha)
Maan lijiye Havildar Ram Prasad apne do bachchon ki padhai ke liye apply karte hain. Unhone discharge book, marksheet aur self-certificate upload kiya. ZSB verification ke baad unke bank account me ₹1000 per child monthly aana shuru ho gaya. Isse unki financial burden thodi kam hui aur bachchon ki padhai continue rahi.
