Assistance Amount and Benefits Under the Scheme
The JK Labour Scholarship provides significant financial relief to families with limited income. Although the assistance amount varies depending on category and level of study, the scheme generally covers:
- Annual school support for primary and secondary students
- Higher education support for undergraduate and postgraduate courses
- Special incentives for meritorious students qualifying for top positions
- Additional aid for professional and technical courses
These benefits help ensure children from labour families do not face interruptions in their education due to financial constraints.
Why the Deadline Extension Matters
The extension to December 15, 2025, is particularly beneficial for workers who were unable to complete the process due to:
- Internet connectivity issues
- Document unavailability
- Institutional delays in issuing fee receipts
- Personal or work-related challenges
The Chief Minister’s directive aims to ensure maximum coverage under the scheme so that no eligible child misses out on the assistance due to time constraints.
Advisory From the Welfare Board
JKBOCWWB has clearly advised workers to avoid waiting until the final days of the deadline. Since the portal may experience heavy traffic near the last date, submitting the form early ensures smooth processing and timely approval.
Workers should also ensure that their membership renewal, passbook details, and student documents are updated before submitting the form.
