The ministry of social justice and empowerment on February 17 updated the mandatory condition for the scholarship.

Students from marginalised sections of society will no longer be able to study Indian culture, heritage, history and social studies under the government’s national overseas scholarship programme, a move that has been criticised by the teaching fraternity and the opposition Congress party.

“The government should steer clear of deciding the choice of the topics under NOS as it will adversely affect academic autonomy and critical studies on different kinds of discriminations and fault lines in Indian society,” said Maya John, assistant professor of history at Delhi University. “Education policies and intellectual pursuits should reflect the needs of the society, not the whims and fancies of the ruling elite or dominant ideology of the day.”

The government’s overseas scholarship helps low-income students belonging to scheduled castes, de- notified nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, landless agricultural labourers and traditional artisan communities to obtain higher education, including postgraduate and doctoral courses, by studying abroad. Candidates with family income of less than 8 lakh a year are eligible to apply.
