Guidelines (MMNBA) for providing Financial Assistance to Male Students from economically weaker families under Mukhya Mantrir Nijut Babu Aasoni 2026

Overview The Government of Assam, through its Higher Education Department, has introduced the "Mukhya Mantrir Nijut Babu Aasoni" (MMNBA) scheme. This initiative provides monthly financial assistance via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to male students from economically weaker families. The primary goal is to support their continuation in Higher Education studies, specifically those enrolled in the 1st and 2nd years of Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) programs in Government and Provincialised Higher Educational Institutions across Assam. The scheme aims to increase male student enrollment, reduce dropout rates beyond the Higher Secondary level, promote social equity, and align with NEP 2020 goals by ensuring gender-balanced support. Important Dates No specific application deadlines, examination dates, or admit card release dates are mentioned in this guideline document.
