Impact So Far

The scheme, first launched in 2023, has already shown promising results:

• 140 aspirants received financial support last year after qualifying prelims.
  
  
• Out of these, 20 cleared the Mains, and 7 secured ranks in the UPSC final list.
  
  
• All interview-stage candidates were additionally given ₹1 lakh to support their preparation.
  
  

The initiative not only reduced financial stress but also boosted the morale of aspirants, especially from economically weaker and marginalized backgrounds.

Why This Scheme Matters

This isn’t just another scholarship—it’s an investment in Telangana’s future bureaucracy. With high costs associated with UPSC coaching, travel, and materials, even deserving candidates are often forced to step back.

Through this scheme, SCCL is:

• Creating a level playing field.
  
  
• Supporting merit over money.
  
  
• Ensuring that no talent is left behind due to lack of resources.
  
  

The scheme also aligns with CM Revanth Reddy's and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka’s vision of empowering Telangana’s youth and enhancing state representation in All India Services.

Final Thoughts

The Rajiv Gandhi Civils Abhay Hastam Scheme is more than financial aid—it's a symbol of trust and encouragement to those preparing to serve the nation. If you or someone you know has cleared UPSC Prelims, don’t miss this opportunity.
