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:

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

Investing in Grassroots Health and Opportunity

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.
