The Savitribai Jyotirao Phule Fellowship is exclusively for the single girl child who aspires to pursue a Doctoral (PhD) programme through regular or full-time mode and the ones who have taken admissions in recognised Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Revised Provisions in Fellowship Scheme

UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar stated that the scheme is an effort of the University Grants Commission towards providing greater access to the higher education sector. It can also be regarded as a major change in the perspective of Indian society towards girl child education through the propagation of the concept of single girl child norm. Following are the revised provisions in the scheme.

  • The UGC has increased the monthly Junior Research Fellowship grant to Rs 31,000
  • The amount of the Senior Research Fellowship has been changed to Rs 35,000
  • Furthermore, UGC has decided to expand or revise the scheme in order to include those students who are doing research in the various fields of Science, Technology, as well as Engineering.

The decision to make the higher education sector easily accessible to all candidates involves providing access to the deprived sections of society. Hence, there is necessary requirement to focus on the high dropout rate of females at various levels of education, which is much higher than that of male students. This issue needs to be addressed or resolved and this fellowship scheme is a pathway to do so.
