Financial Assistance for Professional/Technical Courses (HBOCWWB)

Financial Assistance for Professional/Technical Courses (HBOCWWB) is a welfare scheme by the Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board to support education. Under this scheme, the board reimburses the full educational expenses of children of registered construction workers who are pursuing professional or technical degrees and diplomas. This support makes sure that money problems do not stop students from reaching their academic and career goals.

Haryana government keeps this scheme open for the 2026-27 academic year. Eligible students can now apply online through the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal, and the board directly pays the fees to the institution. This makes the whole process easy and clear for construction worker families across Haryana.

Financial Assistance for Professional/Technical Courses (HBOCWWB) - Introduction

Financial Assistance for Professional/Technical Courses (HBOCWWB) is run by the Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board under the Labour Department, Government of Haryana. Through this scheme, the board encourages higher education by covering the main study costs for children of registered construction workers. The scheme covers admission, tuition, and examination fees in government institutions. For students in private colleges, the board supports educational costs equal to the highest fee structure found within state-run institutions for that same stream of study.
