Scholarship : Changes have been made in the scholarship rules of the Social Welfare Department. This is going to provide a lot of relief to the students. The department has stopped the rule of taking fingerprints every month to get scholarship. Now biometric (fingerprint) will have to be done only once a year.
The monthly biometric verification started by the Social Welfare Department from the session 2023-24 is likely to be withdrawn within a year. In fact, to prevent fraud in the scholarship given to the students by the Social Welfare Department, the department had made a rule to go to the college every month and get fingerprints done. Which was closed after just one session.
To deposit the scholarship amount in the student’s account, now the student will have to undergo biometric verification in the college once a year. After this, the data of the students will be sent by the college to the Social Welfare Department. And students will receive scholarship amount on time.
At the same time, students were also facing inconvenience. Now, due to the relaxation of the rule of giving only one biometric throughout the year, scholarship payment to the students of tribal areas will be done on time. Due to this rule, even after the entire year has passed, the applications for post-matric scholarship from students have reduced compared to last year.
Let us tell you that this will benefit the students of rural areas to the maximum extent. Because it was often seen that some students were studying along with farming, hence they were not able to come for biometric attendance every month. Students will get a lot of relief from the new session.
Students are very upset due to non-payment of scholarship for this session. According to the department, the transfer of scholarship amount to all the students has started. Within some time, the scholarship amount of all the students will be deposited in the bank account. If there is any mistake in the scholarship form of a student, he/she will be given time to correct it.
