Savitribai Phule Kishori Samridhi Yojana — Introduction
The Savitribai Phule Kishori Samridhi Yojana (SPKSY) is a scheme of the Government of Jharkhand aimed at supporting the education of adolescent girl students and discouraging early/child marriage. It is administered through the state's Women, Child Development and Social Security Department, working with schools and Anganwadi/CDPO offices at the district level, rather than being a scheme run directly by JAC.
Objective
The scheme is intended to:
- Promote continued education for adolescent girls
- Reduce school dropout rates among girl students
- Discourage child/early marriage
- Support girls financially at key stages of school and the transition to higher education
Eligibility (As Publicly Reported)
Based on publicly available government and district-level information, the scheme has generally been described as covering girl students studying in Class 8 to Class 12 in Jharkhand, along with a further one-time benefit around age 18–19. Reported conditions have included being a permanent resident of Jharkhand and family income-related criteria.
Benefit Structure (As Publicly Reported)
Publicly available reports describe the total assistance under the scheme as being paid in instalments across Class 8 through Class 12, with an additional one-time amount payable around age 18–19. Because exact instalment amounts can be revised by the government, we do not restate specific rupee figures here as guaranteed — please verify the current amount on the official scheme document.
Application Process
Applications under this type of scheme are typically routed through the Anganwadi worker or Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) at the block/district level, sometimes alongside school records confirming enrolment. Some state schemes also maintain an online portal for registration and tracking.
Documents Generally Required
- Birth certificate
- Aadhaar card (student and parent/guardian, where applicable)
- School enrolment / bonafide certificate
- Bank or post office account passbook
- Residence proof
Confirm the exact document list with your Anganwadi/CDPO office or the official scheme guideline, as requirements can be updated.
