In a bid to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder children's education, the Yogi Government in Uttar Pradesh has intensified its efforts to transfer educational aid directly to the bank accounts of parents through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This initiative, initiated by Basic Education Department, is aimed at providing financial support to parents of students studying in Classes 1 to 8 in government-run schools, enabling them to purchase essential items such as uniforms, shoes, socks, sweaters, school bags, and stationery.
The programme was launched on July 8, 2026, in Varanasi by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, with funds being transferred to the bank accounts of nearly 1.10 crore students. This phase of the scheme further solidified the government's commitment to providing equal educational opportunities and improving the schooling experience for millions of children across the state.
In a continuation of this initiative, the second phase of the programme has transferred the prescribed amount to the accounts of 7.83 lakh parents, ensuring a timely release of funds for the procurement of necessary educational materials.
