We are an educationally progressive State, and Auro Scholarship Programme of Sri Aurobindo Society will definitely become a boon for the students," said Nath while speaking on the significance and relevance of micro-scholarships for the students."The teachers and students are more open to technology now than before. We are hopeful that by taking online quizzes, the students will be able to improve their learning outcomes. I am happy that the MoU has been signed with Sri Aurobindo Society and the programme provides learning nudges to the students to learn more," said Vaheed."The monthly micro-scholarship programme will benefit the students in the long run. They will become intrinsically motivated to learn and grow. It is an honour for Sri Aurobindo Society to partner with the government of Tripura and making the scholarship accessible to all the students of the state," added Poddar."In the past few years, Sri Aurobindo Society's nationwide teacher outreach programme 'Zero-Investment Innovations for Education Initiatives' (ZIIEI) has played a vital role in creating an innovative and experiential teaching ecosystem in schools of Tripura.

The parents receive up to Rs 1,000/month (INR 50 per quiz, for 20 quizzes across 5 subjects) in their bank account, which they can use to pay for their child's education in various ways. This model of monthly micro-scholarships is a 1st of its kind and goes a long way in incentivizing the learning outcomes.Since the national launch around one and a half years ago, lakhs of users have registered themselves on Auro Scholar App and around 15 lakh assessments have been taken by the students since the start of the programme.
