The Anundoram Barooah Cash or Laptop Award Scheme, also known as the Anundoram Borooah Award Scheme, is an initiative by the government of Assam, a state in northeastern India. The scheme aims to recognize and encourage academic excellence among students in the state.

Under this scheme, eligible students who perform well in the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or the equivalent examination are rewarded with either a cash award or a laptop. The specific benefits and criteria may vary from year to year, as determined by the government.

Typically, students who achieve a certain percentage of marks in the HSLC examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) are eligible for the scheme. The eligible students are awarded a certificate of merit along with either a cash award or a laptop, depending on the scheme’s provisions for that particular year.

The scheme is named after Anundoram Barooah, a prominent educationist and social reformer from Assam, who played a significant role in the field of education in the state.

The Anundoram Barooah Cash or Laptop Award Scheme aims to motivate students to excel academically and provide them with resources that can enhance their educational opportunities. It has been successful in promoting education and inspiring students to achieve higher results in their examinations.
