From Financial Burden to International Research Exposure: How NFSC Support Advanced Kuri Sravan Kumar's Academic Journey

The release highlights the impact of the National Fellowship for Scheduled Caste Students (NFSC) Scheme through the academic journey of a research scholar, Shri Kuri Sravan Kumar, from Telangana. Facing economic barriers and family financial problems due to his father's retirement, Sravan Kumar received assistance under the NFSC Scheme starting in April 2023, which provided fellowship and contingency support. This assistance reduced his economic stress, enabled him to continue his doctoral research, facilitated international research exposure by allowing him to travel to South Korea for a conference, and supported his publication of research papers in UGC CARE-listed journals.
