🌠 Gagan Bharari Shiksha Yojana – For OBC (Dhangar) Students of Goa
Monthly Scholarship Support to Help You Fly Higher
“When someone believes in you, the sky is never too far.”
For students of the Dhangar community in Goa — dreams of higher education are often challenged by everyday realities: travel costs, hostel bills, textbooks, or even a cup of tea before class. These may sound small, but for many families, it’s the difference between dropping out and moving ahead.
To change this, the Government of Goa launched the Gagan Bharari Shiksha Yojana — a scholarship that offers monthly financial support to Dhangar (OBC) students pursuing Class 11 up to postgraduate education.
This scheme ensures you never have to pause your learning journey due to small but crucial expenses.
