The upward revision of income criteria/ scholarship rates under the Post Matric Scholarship scheme for students belonging to Scheduled Castes is under consideration. Scholarship schemes are revised from time to time, keeping in view various factors including Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment is pursuing the matter with other States/UT administrations on regular basis to ensure that system of scholarship disbursement through Post offices/ Bank accounts is adopted throughout the country. At present, six State Governments/UT administrations have reported to be fully making payment of this scholarship through Post-offices/Bank accounts.
This information was given by Shri. D. Napoleon, the Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
