With a view to enabling all students to pursue higher education of their choice without any constraint of funds, Pradhan Mantri Vidya Lakshmi Karyakram has been conceptualised.
NSDL e-Gov has been authorised to develop and maintain Vidya Lakshmi portal. It provides a single-window for students to access information about various loan schemes offered by banks and submit applications for an educational loan. The Department of Financial Services has made it mandatory for all banks to accept education loan applications only through Vidya Lakshmi portal. These loans are provided to pursue various types of academic courses, in India and abroad. Loan amounts can vary from bank to bank, upto Rs.15 Lakh. For education abroad, banks may provide loans up to Rs.20 Lakh.
