Key Highlights * Assam government has opened applications for two flagship student aid schemes, Nijut Moina and Nijut Babu, on 6 August 2026. * Both schemes target students beyond higher secondary, with Nijut Moina additionally aiming to curb child marriage among girls. * Beneficiary numbers have surged: Nijut Moina now covers about 400,000 girls, while Nijut Babu serves roughly 120,000 students. * The state also released ₹15.86 crore for flood‑affected schools and ₹4.26 crore from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to support displaced learners. * Eligibility has broadened to include polytechnic and integrated postgraduate students, provided they maintain regular attendance and discipline. Detailed Insights On 6 August 2026, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated the distribution of application forms for the Nijut Moina and Nijut Babu schemes in Guwahati. These initiatives are part of Assam’s strategy to reduce the financial burden on families and increase enrolment in higher education. The Nijut Moina scheme, launched earlier, focuses on financially supporting girl students and discouraging the practice of child marriage. Initially designed to assist 1 million girls, the scheme now benefits approximately 400,000 students, with plans to add another 100,000 in the current fiscal year. In contrast, the Nijut Babu scheme caters to boys and other students pursuing higher secondary, undergraduate, and postgraduate studies. Its financial assistance is comparatively lower, reflecting the different social objectives of the two programmes. Last year, about 50,000 boys received aid; this year the target rises to 70,000, bringing the total to roughly 120,000 beneficiaries. Both schemes require students to demonstrate regular attendance, discipline, and a commitment to their studies. The government has also earmarked funds for flood‑affected schools in Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, and Golaghat, allocating ₹15.86 crore to repair damage and resume academic activities. Additionally, ₹4.26 crore from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund will help 21,025 students purchase lost educational materials. Key Concepts * Nijut Moina – A state‑run scholarship aimed at supporting girl students beyond higher secondary and preventing child marriage. * Nijut Babu – A complementary scheme providing financial aid to boys and other students in higher secondary and tertiary education. * Child Marriage – The legal or customary union of a minor with an adult, a practice the state seeks to eliminate through targeted support. * Higher Secondary – The educational stage covering grades 11 and 12, often a prerequisite for university admission. * Integrated Postgraduate – Combined undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that span seven semesters, now eligible for aid under Nijut Moina.
