The government formulated various schemes formulated such as the Pre-Matric Scholarship for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) Students and Post-Matric Scholarship for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the year 1998-99. To enhance the quality of education for the Economically Backward Class (EBC), and Semi-Nomadic Tribes De-notified Tribe (DNT), schemes focusing on education empowerment were launched in the year 2014-15. All these schemes are operational since their inception but needed amendment.

However, the functioning of these schemes was not able to achieve its goals. Hence, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment formed one scheme which covered five schemes under its umbrella that is “PM Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India for OBCs and others (PM –Yasasvi)” for OBC, EBC, and DNT students.
