Background:
This scheme for the construction of hostels is one of the means to enable and encourage students belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) to attain quality education.

The primary objective of the revised scheme is to attract implementing agencies for undertaking the construction of hostels, especially for SC girls, towards the broader vision of containment and reduction of their dropout rate. The other objectives are:
(i) having a girls/boys hostel with a capacity of 100 seats, in every block headquarters of low literacy districts not having one as of now, by way of priority.
(ii) repairing and proper maintenance of hostels, and
(iii) having an effective mechanism for monitoring, review, etc.
