Good news for students in Kerala: after years of waiting, the state government has approved ₹20.52 crore to pay off all pending CM Kids Scholarship dues since 2018.
This Children's Day present means eligible students can expect their scholarship money by March 31, 2027.
Kerala orders smoother scholarship processing
For the 2025-26 school year, over a lakh students had appeared for lower primary scholarships and nearly as many for upper primary.
In the end, 36,253 lower primary and 9,330 upper primary students qualified.
To avoid future delays, departments have been told to smooth out the process so everyone gets their support on time from now on.
