The Gujarat government is giving special priority to providing quality education to students from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community. Currently, 1,822 SC students are studying in 25 model residential schools operating across the state. Additionally, 4,924 students are being provided with accommodation and meals in 79 government hostels.

Under the Samras Hostel Scheme, 13,150 students have been admitted for the year 2024-25, out of which 2,110 are from the Scheduled Caste community.

In the words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar taught us that social justice remains incomplete until the person standing at the last rung of society receives justice."

In the same context of social justice, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel believes, "The foundation of social justice and equality laid by Dr Ambedkar is the very inspiration behind the Gujarat government's inclusive and harmonious development model."
