In a bold move to uplift tribal communities, NMDC Limited has launched two fully-sponsored educational programs in Chhattisgarh, aiming to create a skilled healthcare workforce and bridge the region’s medical service gap.

200 Nursing Seats Reserved for Tribal Girls

As part of its CSR initiative, NMDC has rolled out a comprehensive nursing education scheme exclusively for tribal girls from Bastar, Dantewada, Sukma, Kondagaon, Bijapur, and Narayanpur. The offering includes:

The PSU will bear the full cost of education, hostel, books, and other academic expenses—amounting to ₹12–15 lakh per student. Only ST candidates from families with annual incomes below ₹72,000 are eligible. Applications close on June 28, 2025.

Apollo University Partners for Allied Healthcare Programs

In collaboration with Apollo University, Chittoor, NMDC has also introduced a Medical Technology Program for tribal youth. The program features:

  • 90 fully sponsored B.Sc. seats
  • 60% seats for girls and 40% for boys
  • Offered courses include:

Applications are open until June 30, 2025, with full financial backing from NMDC for every student enrolled.

Investing in Grassroots Health and Opportunity

NMDC’s dual educational initiative seeks to curb migration, create job-ready healthcare professionals, and enhance medical infrastructure in tribal regions. With a focus on quality education and assured career pathways, these programs aim to transform tribal youth into agents of change within their own communities.
