MAEF Grant-in-Aid Scheme

This scheme is intended to strengthen infrastructure of educational institution catering to the needs of minorities. Under this scheme, financial assistance is provided to the Societies/Trusts/NGOs for various purposes enabling them to enhance their capabilities of improving educational institutions managed by them. The MAEF is implementing this scheme in all parts of the country, which has shown visible impacts on educational development of minorities. Recently, the ceiling limits of Grants-in-aid for various purposes under this scheme have been revised upward keeping in view the increasing cost of construction over a period of time.
