The Government of Maharashtra informed the legislative council that a decision to provide scholarships to students from the open category will soon be initiated. The scholarships will be granted to students who wish to pursue higher education abroad.
Dilip Kamble, Minister for Social Justice (Maharashtra), said that the family income limit for students to be eligible for the scholarships was capped at Rs 20 lakh per annum.
The scheme will be awarded through the departments concerned, he added.
He further said, “Even as the income limit for the students from Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category is Rs 6 lakh and for the other backward category Rs 8 lakh, the rules specifying criteria, terms and conditions and number of students to be selected are stipulated by the concerned department,” India Today reported.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
