The Assam government introduced the 'Nijut Moina' scheme, which offers monthly stipends to female students in order to promote women's education and reduce dropout rates. The scheme provides ₹1,000 for higher secondary students, ₹1,250 for degree students, and ₹2,500 for post-graduation students. With a budget of ₹1,500 crore over 5 years, this initiative reflects Assam's efforts to support and enhance educational opportunities for women from class 11 through post-graduation.
