The government’s educational programs are designed to offer support and facilitate access to education for students from different socio-economic backgrounds. This paper discusses Coimbatore district as a case study to understand the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the beneficiaries and explore how these programs help to enhance their educational opportunities and lives. There are few studies that evaluate the effectiveness of communication channels and institutional support. This paper employs both primary and secondary sources to investigate awareness and utilization. It reveals the obstacles that beneficiaries encounter in accessing the benefits of these programs. The paper also investigates the effects of socio-economic and digital variables on utilization. The findings are expected to shed light on the discrepancies between awareness and utilization of these programs.
