💡 Why Startups Should Care
The Parixitlal Majmudar Scholarship is processed school-to-school, not student-to-government — EdTech companies wanting to reach SC beneficiaries should partner with schools (especially in Tier 2 and rural areas) rather than marketing directly to students, as the principal is the institutional gatekeeper for this benefit.
