Post-matric plan for SC, ST may go

Amit Sharma, TNN, Mar 24, 2010, 02.49am IST

CHANDIGARH: The scheme of post-matric scholarship given to ST and SC
candidates of Punjab, seeking admission in professional courses in
Panjab University (PU), is likely to be discontinued from the coming
academic session as authorities have not received reimbursements from
the state government. As such, the matter will be tabled before the
syndicate meeting scheduled for March 29.

As per the scheme, students belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled
Tribe of the state are exempted from paying tuition and non-refundable
fees on the condition that the state would reimburse the amount.

However, no grants have been provided by the government till date.
Sources said the DPI colleges, Punjab, was informed about
reimbursement of money to SC and ST students of the state from 2008-09
onwards. An official said, "The government has failed to fulfil the
condition due to which, the committee formed to look into the matter,
decided to discontinue the scheme."

If the syndicate approves, then benefits to those in PU and its three
regional centres will be withdrawn.
