The government gives money to help some families pay for school. This is for children whose parents work in certain jobs. These jobs are in factories that make beedis or in mines. There are rules about how much money a family can earn to get this help. The rules are different for different types of workers. For mine workers who do manual jobs, there is no limit on how much they can earn. They can still get help. For workers who are managers, they can earn up to 10,000 rupees per month. If they earn more, they cannot get help. For people who work in cinemas, the limit is 8,000 rupees per month. Or it can be 100,000 rupees if paid all at once. These rules help make sure the money goes to families who need it most. The government wants to help children stay in school and not have to work in dangerous jobs.
