Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is a government organisation that conducts various examinations every year to recruit candidates for Group B and Group C posts in various ministries, departments and organisations of the Government of India. Every year, about 30 lakh candidates fill out the SSC CGL application form and about 15 lakh aspirants appear for the exam. (33,55,194 candidates registered for SSC CGL 2022).
SSC CGL examination is very competitive as it covers a wide range of topics and tests the candidate’s knowledge in reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English language and general awareness. However, with proper preparation strategy, practice and access to study materials, one can easily qualify through the exams.
Every year, lakhs of SSC aspirants persevere in the preparation of these exams hoping to be rewarded with selection. SSC examination preparation can sometimes prove to be financially difficult for the members of the tribal communities across India, since the aspirants from these communities often come from economically marginalized sections for whom accessing exam preparation courseware could be financially challenging.
Could the aspirations of the young and motivated members from the tribal communities be supported by enabling them to access high-quality, well-designed study material to help them prepare well for the SSC examinations with least financial burden on them?
The Tribal Design Forum that seeks to explore ways in which design can play a role in making a difference in the lives of members from the tribal communities wishes to address just this very concern and is proud to offer 1000 Scholarships to SSC Aspirants from all tribal communities in India (as listed in the Scheduled Tribe list of the Government of India) with the hope that it shall provide greater access to quality study material and enable them to prepare single mindedly for the upcoming SSC examinations.
