Some of the major schemes of this kind include a post-matric scholarship, national overseas scholarship, national fellowship, top class education, concessional loans from National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation, and hostels for ST boys and girls, Goyal added.
"In addition to above, they will also be entitled to benefits of reservation in services and admission to educational institutions as per government policy," an official statement said.
