Ex gratia for SC, ST students' parents

BHUBANESWAR: The State Government had decided to pay ex gratia to the
parents of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe students if they
die in accidents or of diseases during their stay in hostel while
pursuing their studies.
The students will also be eligible for getting compensation if they
become permanently disabled during the study period.
Announcing this here today, Minister for Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled
Caste Development Bijay Ranjan Singh Bariha said it has come to the
notice of the State Government that many SC and ST students die in
hostels because of diseases, snakebite or other accidents or become
permanently disabled. The Minister said that keeping this in view, the
compensation amount has been fixed at Rs 50,000 for the parents of the
students who die in hostels. Similarly, permanently disabled students
will receive Rs 25,000 as compensation. This will benefit students of
eight ME Schools under the department, 11 Ekalabya model schools, 19
Orissa model tribal education society and hostels managed by the ST
and ST Development Department in schools under the School and Mass
Education Department.
In case of a death in the hostel, the headmaster or headmistress and
hostel superintendent will have to bring this to the notice of the
district collector, village health worker, government hospital or
police station immediately.
Compensation will be paid after approval of district collector, he added.
