&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Scholarship pool for OBCs, minorities reduced&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The pool of poor schoolchildren from the Other Backward Classes &amp;nbsp;and religious minorities who are eligible for two government scholarships has been drastically cut short from this year. The Centre has revised two schemes &amp;mdash; the &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot;&gt;Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs&lt;/a&gt; and the Pre-Matric Scholarship for minorities &amp;mdash; by limiting eligibility to students of Classes IX and X, and only those enrolled in government schools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Till now, both scholarships were available to students of Classes I to X, at government, aided and private schools. The earlier 2017-18 guidelines for the OBC scholarship from the social justice and empowerment ministry offered Rs 100 per month for 10 months a year to day scholars from Classes I to X, and Rs 500 a month to hostel boarders from Classes III to X for 10 months a year. Each student was eligible also for a lumpsum grant of Rs 500 a year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The family income cut-off for eligibility was Rs 2.5 lakh a year. Under the revised guidelines, OBC students of Classes IX and X at government schools will receive Rs 4,000 a year. The income cut-off remains unchanged at Rs 2.5 lakh, without adjustment for inflation. On Wednesday, CPM Rajya Sabha member John Brittas asked why the ambit of the Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs had shrunk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a written reply, social justice minister Virendra Kumar cited the provision for free and compulsory education under the Right To Education (RTE) Act as the reason. &amp;ldquo;This has been done in order to rationalise the scholarship as per the following: i. The RTE Act 2009 makes it obligatory for the government to provide free and compulsory elementary education (Class I to VIII) to each and every child. Accordingly only students studying in Classes IX and X are covered under the pre-matric scholarship scheme for OBC. ii. The amount of scholarship has been increased and made uniform to day scholars and hostellers,&amp;rdquo; Kumar said.&lt;/p&gt;

The Centre has revised two schemes &amp;mdash; the &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot; title=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot;&gt;Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs&lt;/a&gt; and the Pre-Matric Scholarship for minorities &amp;mdash; by limiting eligibility to students of Classes IX and X, and only those enrolled in government schools.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Till now, both scholarships were available to students of Classes I to X, at government, aided and private schools. The earlier 2017-18 guidelines for the OBC scholarship from the social justice and empowerment ministry offered Rs 100 per month for 10 months a year to day scholars from Classes I to X, and Rs 500 a month to hostel boarders from Classes III to X for 10 months a year. Each student was eligible also for a lumpsum grant of Rs 500 a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The family income cut-off for eligibility was Rs 2.5 lakh a year. Under the revised guidelines, OBC students of Classes IX and X at government schools will receive Rs 4,000 a year. The income cut-off remains unchanged at Rs 2.5 lakh, without adjustment for inflation. On Wednesday, CPM Rajya Sabha member John Brittas asked why the ambit of the Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs had shrunk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a written reply, social justice minister Virendra Kumar cited the provision for free and compulsory education under the Right To Education (RTE) Act as the reason. &amp;ldquo;This has been done in order to rationalise the scholarship as per the following: i. The RTE Act 2009 makes it obligatory for the government to provide free and compulsory elementary education (Class I to VIII) to each and every child. Accordingly only students studying in Classes IX and X are covered under the pre-matric scholarship scheme for OBC. ii. The amount of scholarship has been increased and made uniform to day scholars and hostellers,&amp;rdquo; Kumar said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/axe-on-grants-for-poor/cid/1904481&quot; title=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/axe-on-grants-for-poor/cid/1904481&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

The Centre has revised two schemes &amp;mdash; the &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot; title=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot;&gt;Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs&lt;/a&gt; and the Pre-Matric Scholarship for minorities &amp;mdash; by limiting eligibility to students of Classes IX and X, and only those enrolled in government schools.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Till now, both scholarships were available to students of Classes I to X, at government, aided and private schools. The earlier 2017-18 guidelines for the OBC scholarship from the social justice and empowerment ministry offered Rs 100 per month for 10 months a year to day scholars from Classes I to X, and Rs 500 a month to hostel boarders from Classes III to X for 10 months a year. Each student was eligible also for a lumpsum grant of Rs 500 a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The family income cut-off for eligibility was Rs 2.5 lakh a year. Under the revised guidelines, OBC students of Classes IX and X at government schools will receive Rs 4,000 a year. The income cut-off remains unchanged at Rs 2.5 lakh, without adjustment for inflation. On Wednesday, CPM Rajya Sabha member John Brittas asked why the ambit of the Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs had shrunk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a written reply, social justice minister Virendra Kumar cited the provision for free and compulsory education under the Right To Education (RTE) Act as the reason. &amp;ldquo;This has been done in order to rationalise the scholarship as per the following: i.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The pool of poor schoolchildren from the Other Backward Classes &amp;nbsp;and religious minorities who are eligible for two government scholarships has been drastically cut short from this year. The Centre has revised two schemes &amp;mdash; the &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/AS77.pdf&quot;&gt;Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs&lt;/a&gt; and the Pre-Matric Scholarship for minorities &amp;mdash; by limiting eligibility to students of Classes IX and X, and only those enrolled in government schools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Till now, both scholarships were available to students of Classes I to X, at government, aided and private schools. The earlier 2017-18 guidelines for the OBC scholarship from the social justice and empowerment ministry offered Rs 100 per month for 10 months a year to day scholars from Classes I to X, and Rs 500 a month to hostel boarders from Classes III to X for 10 months a year. Each student was eligible also for a lumpsum grant of Rs 500 a year.&lt;/p&gt;

Axe on grants for poor -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph Scholarship pool for OBCs, minorities reduced New Delhi: The pool of poor schoolchildren from the Other Backward Classes  and religious minorities who are eligible for two government scholarships has been drastically cut short from this year. The Centre has revised two schemes — the Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs and the Pre-Matric Scholarship for minorities — by limiting eligibility to students of Classes IX and X, and only those enrolled in government schools. Till now, both scholarships were available to students of Classes I to X, at government, aided and private schools. The earlier 2017-18 guidelines for the OBC scholarship from the social justice and empowerment ministry offered Rs 100 per month for 10 months a year to day scholars from Classes I to X, and Rs 500 a month to hostel boarders from Classes III to X for 10 months a year. Each student was eligible also for a lumpsum grant of Rs 500 a year. The family income cut-off for eligibility was Rs 2.5 lakh a year. Under the revised guidelines, OBC students of Classes IX and X at government schools will receive Rs 4,000 a year. The income cut-off remains unchanged at Rs 2.5 lakh, without adjustment for inflation. On Wednesday, CPM Rajya Sabha member John Brittas asked why the ambit of the Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBCs had shrunk. In a written reply, social justice minister Virendra Kumar cited the provision for free and compulsory education under the Right To Education (RTE) Act as the reason. “This has been done in order to rationalise the scholarship as per the following: i. The RTE Act 2009 makes it obligatory for the government to provide free and compulsory elementary education (Class I to VIII) to each and every child. Accordingly only students studying in Classes IX and X are covered under the pre-matric scholarship scheme for OBC. ii. The amount of scholarship has been increased and made uniform to day scholars and hostellers,” Kumar said. Please click here to read more.
