Free Laptop Scheme: The Delhi government has taken a major decision to connect students with digital education. The government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, recently approved the Chief Minister’s Digital Education Scheme. Under this scheme, meritorious students will be provided with free laptops to better prepare for higher education and competitive exams. Let us now explain how female students in Delhi can obtain free laptops and how to apply for this scheme.
What is Chief Minister Digital Education Scheme?
The Chief Minister’s Digital Education Scheme aims to encourage meritorious students who perform well in the 10th grade. Under this scheme, 1,200 students will receive free i7-configuration laptops each academic year. Each laptop will cost over ₹60,000. The Delhi government has allocated a budget of ₹7.5 crore for this. Certain criteria have been established for availing this scheme. Students must be residents of Delhi. They must have passed the 10th grade from the CBSE board and be ranked among the top 1,200 in the 10th grade merit list. They must have attended a regular school and secured admission to the 11th grade. Only students who meet these criteria will be eligible for the scheme.
How will the girl students benefit?
This scheme does not discriminate between female students and male students. Female students who are in the top 1,200 on the merit list and meet the eligibility criteria will also receive free laptops. The government states that this will promote digital learning and self-reliance among female students. There is no need to apply separately to benefit from this scheme. A list of the top 1,200 students will be compiled based on the CBSE 10th board exam results. Laptops will be distributed to selected students through a program. If required, documents can be submitted through the school.
