What is Nagaland Transport Scholarship?
The Nagaland State Transport Scholarship provides annual travel grants of ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 to college students from remote villages and hilly areas of Nagaland who must travel significant distances to attend government colleges and universities. The scheme acknowledges Nagaland's challenging terrain — where road connectivity is limited and transportation costs are prohibitive — and ensures that economic barriers do not prevent tribal students from accessing higher education. Students enrolled in government colleges in Kohima, Dimapur, Mokokchung, and other district headquarters receive the travel grant disbursed annually through Direct Benefit Transfer to their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. Priority is given to students from remote districts such as Phek, Tuensang, Mon, Longleng, and Kiphire where connectivity is most difficult.
