Tripura government launches “Earn with Learn” scheme

The Tripura government has launched a new scheme named “Earn with Learn” to bring back those who had dropped out of schools following the outbreak of Covid-19.

This scheme is a part of the Vidyalaya Chalo Abhiyan (Let’s go to school). About 8,000 students between the age group of 6 to14 had dropped out of school during the pandemic.

The state government will pay Rs 500 per admission to each college student as reward for bringing back such dropouts to school again.
