TN Budget allots Rs 1000 per month to govt school girls to pursue higher education -Azeefa Fathima

Finance Minister PTR announced that nearly six lakh girls in government schools are expected to benefit from the scheme.

In a scheme that would benefit the higher education of girls studying in government schools in Tamil Nadu, Rs 1,000 will be provided as a monthly financial assistance to them till the completion of their undergraduate degree, the Tamil Nadu government announced in its budget presented on Friday, March 18. The amount will be deposited directly into the bank accounts of the female students, who are studying in classes 6 to 12 in government schools, till they complete their undergraduate degree, diploma and ITI courses. Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR) announced that approximately six lakh girls in government schools are expected to benefit from the scheme, for which an amount of Rs 698 crore has been allotted.

PTR stated that the ‘Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Memorial Marriage Assistance Scheme’ is being transformed as the ‘Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education Assurance Scheme’. The transformation is made in recognition of the very low ratio of girl students from government schools being enrolled in higher education, he said.

In another announcement, the minister said that Rs 5 crore has been set aside to translate and publish a collection of Periyar's written works in 21 Indian and World languages, in print as well as digital editions. “It is the duty of this Government to spread his message and writings across the world so that the whole of humanity can benefit from his progressive ideas,” he said.
