Free Laptop Scheme: To encourage students who perform well in class 10th and 12th, all state governments across the country are running a free laptop and tablet distribution scheme. Under this scheme, after the results of class 10th and 12th are declared, the merit list of students scoring good marks is released and they are given free laptop or tablet. Under this, some state governments are currently planning to give tablets, which the students can carry with them anywhere.
In the present time, in the growing digital age, it has become necessary for everyone to have a laptop or tablet. Under this, laptop or tablet is also required for higher level studies. In view of this, the state governments are giving free laptop or tablet to the students who score good marks in class 10th and 12th for further studies. The main objective of this scheme is to encourage students for higher education and financial assistance is also being provided to the students of weaker sections.
