The program was initiated in FY 2025–26 with the objective of supporting ITI students and strengthening vocational education by enabling students to continue their technical training without financial barriers. The initiative was introduced to address key challenges faced by ITI students, such as financial constraints, limited access to training-related resources, and the risk of discontinuing education due to economic hardship. At the same time, the program was designed to contribute towards building a stronger pipeline of skilled youth who can meet the growing demand for trained manpower in industrial and technical sectors. Under the initiative, scholarships amounting to INR 45,000 were provided to eligible students to support their educational and training-related expenses.

During FY 2025–26, the program supported a total of 60 ITI students across selected ITI institutions. The initiative was implemented through collaboration with ITI colleges, where awareness was created among students regarding scholarship opportunities, eligibility requirements, and the selection process. Applications were invited from eligible candidates, followed by a structured screening and merit-based evaluation to ensure that the most deserving students were identified. The program was implemented in a way that ensured transparency, fairness, and timely scholarship support, ultimately helping students pursue their ITI education with greater confidence and improved career prospects.
