&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;While the pre-matric and post-matric scholarships recorded staggeringly low numbers of beneficiaries, the merit-cum-means scholarship, which is given to students enrolled in professional courses, was less affected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Recently, at a conference on &amp;lsquo;Islamic Heritage: Promoting Understanding and Moderation&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a speech, &amp;ldquo;The Government of India is leaving no stone unturned in empowering the Muslim youth. We want them to have the Quran in one hand and a computer in the other.&amp;rdquo; However, the facts on the ground show a grim picture of the state of minority affairs, including education, and belie the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s assertion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data from the Ministry of Minority Affairs expose that the catchphrase &amp;lsquo;Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas (Collective Efforts, Inclusive Growth)&amp;rsquo; has withered, with a visible declining trend in the disbursal of minority scholarships over the last four years. With the aim to reduce dropout rates and enhance the level of education among minority groups, the ministry had introduced three schemes: the merit-cum-means scholarship, post-matric scholarship and pre-matric scholarship, allocated depending on students&amp;rsquo; qualifications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Economically marginalised groups were to receive a maximum of Rs 30,000 annually. However, there are some students who receive as little as Rs 5,000 per year, an amount insufficient to meet even their basic financial needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data accessed through an RTI filed by the authors show that under the ministry&amp;rsquo;s pre-matric scheme, the number of beneficiaries of the scholarship have decreased from 7.5 million in 2013-14 to 4.4 million in 2017-18. The response to the RTI query showed that of the 96,50,248 students registered for the scholarship, only 44,74,452 received the money in the previous academic year (2017-2018).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another set of data show that the number of beneficiaries registered for the post-matric scholarship declined by 31%. Under this scheme, the ministry provides scholarships to students studying in or above the senior secondary level, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Though the applicants for the scholarships rose from 1.3 million in 2013-14 to 1.7 million in 2017-18, the students receiving the scholarship after verification decreased from 8,90,467 in 2013-14 to 6,06,282 in 2017-18.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Another set of data show that the number of beneficiaries registered for the post-matric scholarship declined by 31%. Under this scheme, the ministry provides scholarships to students studying in or above the senior secondary level, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Though the applicants for the scholarships rose from 1.3 million in 2013-14 to 1.7 million in 2017-18, the students receiving the scholarship after verification decreased from 8,90,467 in 2013-14 to 6,06,282 in 2017-18.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Recently, at a conference on &amp;lsquo;Islamic Heritage: Promoting Understanding and Moderation&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a speech, &amp;ldquo;The Government of India is leaving no stone unturned in empowering the Muslim youth.

&lt;em&gt;While the pre-matric and post-matric scholarships recorded staggeringly low numbers of beneficiaries, the merit-cum-means scholarship, which is given to students enrolled in professional courses, was less affected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Recently, at a conference on &amp;lsquo;Islamic Heritage: Promoting Understanding and Moderation&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a speech, &amp;ldquo;The Government of India is leaving no stone unturned in empowering the Muslim youth. We want them to have the Quran in one hand and a computer in the other.&amp;rdquo; However, the facts on the ground show a grim picture of the state of minority affairs, including education, and belie the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s assertion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data from the Ministry of Minority Affairs expose that the catchphrase &amp;lsquo;Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas (Collective Efforts, Inclusive Growth)&amp;rsquo; has withered, with a visible declining trend in the disbursal of minority scholarships over the last four years. With the aim to reduce dropout rates and enhance the level of education among minority groups, the ministry had introduced three schemes: the merit-cum-means scholarship, post-matric scholarship and pre-matric scholarship, allocated depending on students&amp;rsquo; qualifications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Economically marginalised groups were to receive a maximum of Rs 30,000 annually. However, there are some students who receive as little as Rs 5,000 per year, an amount insufficient to meet even their basic financial needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data accessed through an RTI filed by the authors show that under the ministry&amp;rsquo;s pre-matric scheme, the number of beneficiaries of the scholarship have decreased from 7.5 million in 2013-14 to 4.4 million in 2017-18. The response to the RTI query showed that of the 96,50,248 students registered for the scholarship, only 44,74,452 received the money in the previous academic year (2017-2018).&lt;br /&gt;

<em>While the pre-matric and post-matric scholarships recorded staggeringly low numbers of beneficiaries, the merit-cum-means scholarship, which is given to students enrolled in professional courses, was less affected.<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>Recently, at a conference on &lsquo;Islamic Heritage: Promoting Understanding and Moderation&rsquo; in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a speech, &ldquo;The Government of India is leaving no stone unturned in empowering the Muslim youth. We want them to have the Quran in one hand and a computer in the other.&rdquo; However, the facts on the ground show a grim picture of the state of minority affairs, including education, and belie the prime minister&rsquo;s assertion.<br />
<br />
Data from the Ministry of Minority Affairs expose that the catchphrase &lsquo;Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas (Collective Efforts, Inclusive Growth)&rsquo; has withered, with a visible declining trend in the disbursal of minority scholarships over the last four years. With the aim to reduce dropout rates and enhance the level of education among minority groups, the ministry had introduced three schemes: the merit-cum-means scholarship, post-matric scholarship and pre-matric scholarship, allocated depending on students&rsquo; qualifications.<br />
<br />
Economically marginalised groups were to receive a maximum of Rs 30,000 annually. However, there are some students who receive as little as Rs 5,000 per year, an amount insufficient to meet even their basic financial needs.<br />
<br />
Data accessed through an RTI filed by the authors show that under the ministry&rsquo;s pre-matric scheme, the number of beneficiaries of the scholarship have decreased from 7.5 million in 2013-14 to 4.4 million in 2017-18. The response to the RTI query showed that of the 96,50,248 students registered for the scholarship, only 44,74,452 received the money in the previous academic year (2017-2018).<br />
<br />
Another set of data show that the number of beneficiaries registered for the post-matric scholarship declined by 31%. Under this scheme, the ministry provides scholarships to students studying in or above the senior secondary level, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Though the applicants for the scholarships rose from 1.3 million in 2013-14 to 1.7 million in 2017-18, the students receiving the scholarship after verification decreased from 8,90,467 in 2013-14 to 6,06,282 in 2017-18.<br />

RTI Reveals Steep Decline in Disbursal of Minority Scholarships Since 2014 -Majid Alam and Adil Bhat
