The Cabinet has approved a\u00a0total investment of Rs. 59,048 Cr of which Central Government would spend Rs. 35,534 Cr (60%) and the balance would be spent by the State Govts.\u00a0This replaces the existing &#8216;committed liability&#8217; system and brings greater involvement of the Central Govt in this crucial scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for Scheduled Castes allows students to go for any post matric course starting from class 11<sup>th<\/sup> and onwards, with the Govt meeting the cost of education. The Central Govt is committed to give a big push and impetus to this effort so that the GER (Higher Education) of SCs would reach up to the National standards within the 5 year period.<\/p>\n<p>Following are the details:<\/p>\n<p>The focus of the scheme would be on enrolling the poorest students, timely payments, comprehensive accountability, continuous monitoring and total transparency.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A campaign will be launched to enroll the students, from the poorest households passing the 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0standard, in the higher education courses of their choice.\u00a0It is estimated that 1.36 Cr such poorest students, who are currently not continuing their education beyond 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0standards would be brought into the higher education system in the next 5 years.<\/li>\n<li>The scheme will be run on an online platform with robust cyber security measures that would assure transparency, accountability, efficiency, and timely delivery of the assistance without any delays.<\/li>\n<li>The States will undertake fool-proof verification of the eligibility, caste status, Aadhar identification and bank account details on the online portal.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer of financial assistance to the students under the scheme shall be on DBT mode, and preferably using the Aadhar Enabled Payment System. Starting from 2021-22, the\u00a0Central share (60%) in the scheme would be released on DBT mode directly into the bank accounts of the students\u00a0as per fixed time schedule, after ensuring that the concerned State Government has released their share.<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring mechanism will be further strengthened\u00a0through conduct of social audits, annual third party evaluation, and half-yearly self-audited reports from each institution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Central Assistance which was around Rs 1100 crore annually during 2017-18 to 2019-20 would be\u00a0increased more than 5 times\u00a0to be around Rs 6000 core annually during 2020-21 to 2025-26.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 Cabinet approved transformatory changes in the Post Matric Scholarship\u00a0 DECEMBER 23rd The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs held by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved major and transformatory changes in the Centrally Sponsored Scheme \u2018Post Matric Scholarship to students [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":23281,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,4],"tags":[13173],"class_list":["post-23279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-politics","tag-cabinet-approved-transformatory-changes-in-the-post-matric-scholarship"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
