Backward Classes Welfare department provides Pre matric book grants, Post Matric Scholarships, Hostel charges, maintenance grants and merit scholarships to students of ST, SC and OBC from class V to University students every year. District administration held Sub divisional meetings with Schools and other Educational Institutions this year in the months of May and July-August 2012 and sought their cooperation to ensure applications from all eligible students in time. We have received proposals from more than 90 % Institutes for pre matric and more than half for post matric scholarships. Last date is November 2012.
This is for the first time that applications are received in September 2012 in such a large number which generally used to be done by December every year. State Govt has already released Rs 17 crores in first phase and funds to students/ institutes has been released on first come first basis. In this year 14.6 lakhs students will be benefited which is almost double the number of previous years. In earlier years, disbursement of funds generally took place between December to May next year. But, this year District Administration is in the position to complete all disbursements within December 2012. Blocks have been asked to make disbursement of grants already received by November 2012.
Our sincere thanks to all Head Teachers and Principals of Colleges for their proactive role and cooperation.
