1. About ProjectSarthi
ProjectSarthi is an independent informational platform that helps Indian citizens discover government schemes, scholarships, and fellowships. We aggregate, verify, and simplify publicly available government scheme information. ProjectSarthi is NOT a government website, is NOT affiliated with any government department, ministry, or private organization, and does NOT process applications or collect fees on behalf of any scheme.
2. Informational Use Only
All content on ProjectSarthi, including scheme details, eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, deadlines, and application processes, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. This content does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, or a guarantee of scheme approval. Government scheme rules, eligibility criteria, and deadlines change frequently. We make every effort to keep information updated (as outlined in our Editorial Policy), but users must always verify details on the official government portal before applying for any scheme.
3. No Application Processing
ProjectSarthi does not accept, process, or forward applications for any government scheme, scholarship, or fellowship. We do not collect application fees, processing fees, or any payment from users. Any person or entity claiming to process applications on behalf of ProjectSarthi is fraudulent. If you encounter such activity, please report it to [email protected] immediately.
