The Tamil Nadu government has sanctioned ₹50 lakh for giving a fellowship of ₹1 lakh each to 50 students with disabilities under the Chief Minister’s Research Fellowship. The fellowship would support their research for their Ph.D. programme.
A government order listed the guidelines for the fellowship. Only students with disabilities, pursuing Ph.D., are eligible. There is no bar on the income and candidates should pursue Ph.D. either part-time or full time at any recognised educational institution in the country.
Once the document mentioning the thesis viva dates is produced, the incentive of ₹1 lakh will be paid to the candidates, who should also produce their Unique Disability ID and nativity certificates.
