How Government Schools Buy Goods — And How Suppliers Actually Get Paid
A practical, ground-level course based on real experience supplying goods to government schools under the Composite Grant system. Learn how the system works in reality, how payments come through PFMS, and what it actually takes to execute this business on the ground
What Is the Composite Grant — In Simple Terms
The Composite School Grant (CSG) is the yearly budget given to government schools in India.
The amount depends mainly on student strength and is meant for school maintenance, learning materials, basic infrastructure, and approved activities.
All funds move through PFMS (Public Financial Management System), which means:
-
Payments are official
-
Money is bank-to-bank
-
Proper GST bills, documentation, and audit records are mandatory
The grant follows the April–March financial year.
If funds are not used on time, they lapse.
This creates a fixed yearly demand for approved suppliers.
This system rewards people who can:
-
Understand rules
-
Price correctly
-
Coordinate with schools
-
Deliver on ground with documentation
It is not passive income, but it is predictable when done properly.

How Widespread Is This System?
This government school grant ecosystem is not limited to one city or state. It operates across India, with more than 10,13,000 government schools receiving different types of grants and allocations.
Typical Distribution by Area
- Average district: 2,000–3,000 schools
- Typical block: 200–300 schools
- Many gram panchayats: 15–20 schools
These numbers show the spread and potential of the system. Actual viability depends on the number of schools in your area, local execution, and relationships — not on hype or national-level projections

NO SHORTCUTS: THE DISCIPLINE OF EXECUTION
Working with government schools is not about passive income or shortcuts.
This is an on-ground business that requires discipline, proper documentation, and patience with systems like PFMS, billing, and official approvals.
Schools expect timely delivery, correct paperwork, and professional conduct. Payments follow official banking processes and fixed timelines.
This program is not a motivational talk or a “get-rich-quick” idea. It is a practical guide based on real execution — what works on the ground and what doesn’t.
We share the process and the framework. Results depend on your effort, consistency, and how seriously you execute.
This is real work, done with real schools and real bank records.
