Assam has launched the new and updated Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme, and the monthly student support has already started for Class 10 board aspirants. This scheme is made to help students who are preparing for their HSLC exams so they can study without money stress.
From now till the HSLC exams in February, every Class 10 student in Assam will get Rs 300 per month. This small but steady support is meant to help students buy books, notebooks, pens, and maintain simple nutrition during exam preparation. Officials have confirmed that the first payment under Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme has already been transferred.
Many homes across Assam struggle with low income, and students often prepare for exams without proper books or even a simple morning meal. By starting this new scheme, the state wants to make sure no Class 10 student feels left behind just because of money problems.
According to officials, around 4.4 lakh students will get this monthly support. The money will help reduce exam tension and make students feel more confident during the final months of preparation.

Monthly Study Help for Class 10 Students
Under Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme, the state government sends Rs 300 every month directly into the student’s bank account till exams are over. This money is mainly for simple study needs like books, stationery, and maintaining basic diet during exam time.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said many students come from homes where income is unstable. Some do not have proper notebooks or even a basic healthy drink before starting their day. This scheme is a small support so that their focus stays on studies and not on daily money worries.
Eligibility to Get the Scheme Benefit
This support is given to all Class 10 students of Assam without any income limit. Both government and CBSE-affiliated Adarsha Vidyalayas are covered. The student must be a resident of Assam to receive the money.
- All HSLC students studying under ASSEB and living in Assam will get monthly support so they can buy study items on time without depending on family income.
- Students of Adarsha Vidyalayas under CBSE will also get the same benefit if they are residents of Assam.
Expected Impact of Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme
Education Department believes that even a small monthly support can make a big change in poor and rural homes. Many families cannot buy books or guides during exam months, and this scheme will reduce that struggle.
Officials expect Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme to bring positive improvements such as better exam performance, reduced dropout numbers, and more students continuing higher studies.
Benefits for 4.4 Lakh Students
About 4.4 lakh Class 10 students in Assam will get this help. The government hopes this support will boost confidence, reduce exam stress, and make students feel that the state stands with them during an important stage of life.
CM also encouraged students to focus fully on their studies and maintain a positive mindset. He said the government will take care of the financial part, and the children should prepare well for the exam.
Why Assam Started This Monthly Support
The main idea behind Assam ‘Prerona’ scheme is to give stability to students in homes where schooling often competes with daily money needs. Even simple things like buying exam guides, pens, or basic breakfast becomes difficult in many families.
This new support will help such students prepare better, attend school regularly, and reduce the pressure of dropping out due to money issues.
