HRD Ministry Launched Portal for Implementation of NSIGSE

Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry on 28 February 2012 launched a web portal for implementation of the National Scheme of Incentive to Girls for Secondary Education (NSIGSE) in New Delhi. Web portal was developed by the Canara Bank to implement the scheme. The portal will facilitate on line submission of data of the beneficiaries and on line disbursement of the amount on the day of the maturity into their accounts directly after certification by the State Nodal Officer on line that the beneficiary is 18 years old and passed class X examination.  

Now, the proposals under the scheme will be submitted by the State Governments on line. This will eliminate the possibility of feeding incorrect data and bank account numbers which was the major cause for delay in the processing of the proposals and ensure error free entry of data and timely release of funds. The on-line system will also ensure total transparency and quicker disbursement of benefits to the beneficiary girls and on time submission of proposals by the State Governments.   The submitted proposals will not have incorrect data and bank account numbers which was the main reason behind the delay in the processing of the proposals. The web portal will make sure that there is transparency and quicker disbursement of advantages to the beneficiary girls.

The NSIGSE Scheme was sponsored by the central government and it was launched in May 2008 with the aim of establishing a conducive environment to reduce the drop-outs and to promote the enrolment of girl child belonging specially to SC/ST communities in secondary schools.
