Government launched education loan portal for students seeking loans
i. On 20 August 2015, Government launched a web-based portal
www.vidyalakshmi.co.in for the students seeking educational loans. In
order to ensure that no student misses out on higher education due to
lack of funds, finance minister in the Union Budget for 2015-16 had
proposed to set a fully IT-based Student Financial Aid Authority.
ii. In line with this proposal this portal was launched with an aim to
administer and monitor scholarship as well as educational loan schemes
under the Pradhan Mantri Vidya Lakshmi Karyakram (PMVLK). The launch of
this portal also aims to bring all banks providing educational loans
under one roof.
iii. The portal has been developed and maintained by NSDL e-Governance
Infrastructure Limited (NSDL e-Gov) under the guidance of Ministry of
Finance, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource
Development and Indian Banks’ Association (IBA).
iv. It is a first of its kind portal that provides access to information
and makes application for educational loans provided by banks and also
government scholarships under a single window.
v. The portal also has a provision to apply to multiple banks for
educational loans and facility for banks to download students’ loan
applications among others.
