Posted On: 30 JUL 2025 3:33PM by PIB Delhi

A total of 140,316 students have been supported under the INSPIRE-MANAK scheme since 2022. This includes 32,138 from the General category, 71,790 from the OBC category, 23,184 from the SC category, and 13,204 from the ST category. The state-wise list is provided in Annexure–I, and the district-wise list for Uttar Pradesh is attached as Annexure–II.

An amount of ₹8,67,50,000/- was sanctioned for 8,675 selected students under the INSPIRE-MANAK scheme since 2022, at the rate of ₹10,000 per student. The sanctioned funds were provided for the preparation of projects/models, showcasing of ideas, and participation in exhibitions conducted at the district, state, and national levels.

Under the scheme, thirty student prototypes from Uttar Pradesh progressed to the national-level exhibition stage.

Three students from Uttar Pradesh were recognized at the national level, and patent applications have been filed for their innovations.

A total of 20 online awareness workshops were organized in Uttar Pradesh under the INSPIRE-MANAK scheme between 2022 and 2025. Out of these, four workshops were conducted specifically for teachers from SC/ST-dominated areas to promote greater student participation in the program.
