disbursement and Fee reimbursement is one of the major schemes which assure that money is not
a constraint for credible students aspiring for higher studies and professional courses. The
scheme also assures the upliftment of downtrodden students and put them in main stream of
society. SAKSHAM-eScholarship portal is the concept of electronic transfer of scholarship and
fee reimbursements to the students directly into their bank accounts which enables and
empowers students of weaker section of the society with education. This paper explores the
various aspects of Government Process Reengineering Model “SAKSHAM” which has been
adopted by the Government to interact, interface and transact with all the concerned stakeholders
in a integrated and interoperable manner for disbursement of scholarship and fee reimbursement
in transparent, time bound, effective and efficient manner, directly into the bank account of
downtrodden students. The objective of the project is not to generate revenue however it saves a
lot of revenue indirectly by minimizing the leakage of funds.
