• Reduce dropout rates among boys
• Ensure financial challenges do not obstruct male students’ studies
• Create balance in welfare distribution between genders

Expected Benefits

Though the exact amount will be announced officially, Babu Asoni is expected to help students with expenses like:

• Tuition fees
• Study materials
• Transportation
• Exam fees
• Hostel or college-related costs

When Will Babu Asoni Start?

The Chief Minister has confirmed that the scheme will officially start from January.

Application details, registration portals, and beneficiary lists are expected to be released soon through:

• Official Assam Government portals
• Education Department notifications
• District-level announcements
