The University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced the list of provisionally selected candidates under the Savitribai Jyotirao Phule Single Girl Child Fellowship (SJSGC) scheme in the online mode. Those who have applied for the fellowship can check the results and download the SJSGC award letter by visiting the official website at ugc.ac.in.
Earlier, the UGC released an official notification regarding the result of the Savitribai Jyotirao Phule Single Girl Child Fellowship (SJSGC) scheme on February 8, 2023, on its official website, stating that the selected candidates are eligible to receive the fellowship under the SJSGC scheme subject to the terms and conditions given in the scheme’s guidelines.
The UGC has notified that the candidates have been selected based on information received from the students who applied for the fellowship scheme. However, their selection is provisional and the eligibility of the candidate for the scheme has to be ensured by the institution at the time of the processing of the claim for the fellowship scheme.
The Fellowship will be payable from April 1, 2023, of the selected year or the actual date of joining under this scheme in the respective university or college. For claiming the SJSGC scheme, candidates must fill out the Joining Cum Verification Report given as per the guidelines in Annexure-1. It has to be submitted to the concerned officials of their institutions, the UGC notification further states.
Highlighting the benefits of the Fellowship scheme, UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said, “The scheme is exclusively for the single girl child desirous of pursuing aPhD programme through regular full-time mode and has taken admission to the course in a recognised higher education institution. The Savitribai Jyotirao Phule Fellowship for Single Girl Child was launched after the revision of the earlier UGC scheme for the Single Girl Child Fellowship for Research in Social Sciences . The earlier scheme was open only for scholars pursuing research in Humanities and Social Sciences, whereas, with the revised scheme, the scope has been expanded, including Sciences, Engineering and technology streams as well.”
He further said, “The rate of fellowship under the present scheme has also been increased to a rate of a fellowship of Rs 31,000 per month as Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Rs 35,000 per month as Senior Research Fellowship (SRF). Another prominent feature of the scheme is that the UGC has removed the cap on the number of slots for fellowship, that is, there is no limit to the number of eligible applicants that can avail of the benefits under this scheme each year. This feature further enables the scheme to widen its reach and impact and meet its objectives.”
The UGC received about 1144 applications under this scheme, out of which 1129 applications have been provisionally selected for the award of the fellowship.
