The Ishan Uday Scholarship 2024-25 is a significant initiative launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under the Government of India. It was first introduced in the year 2014-15 to promote higher education among students from the North Eastern Region (NER), which includes Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura.

This scholarship aims to financially support students who face challenges in accessing higher education due to financial constraints.

Ishan Uday scholarship was launched in 2014-15, and was continued to empower thousands of students each year. The scholarship is disbursed through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring that the funds reach the beneficiaries directly and efficiently.
