‘Pudhumai Penn scheme has led to increase in college enrolment’

The Hindu  

A preliminary assessment of the Pudhumai Penn scheme, carried out by the State Planning Commission, has revealed that 13,681 additional students benefited from the initiative and joined colleges and institutions offering diploma courses in 2022 and 2023, representing a percentage increase of 6.9. The assessment pointed out that Salem had the highest college enrolment at 8.9%, followed by Chennai at 5.8%; Dharmapuri 5.5%; Tiruvannamalai 5.2%; Namakkal 4.8%; and Cuddalore at 4.1%. The Tamil Nadu government launched the Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education Assurance Scheme, also known as the Pudhumai Penn Scheme, to enhance the enrolment of girls from government schools in higher educational institutions. The SPC has also studied how students utilise the aid, and found that beneficiaries primarily use it to cover college and transport expenses, among others.
