`Extend financial help to SC students'

By Our Staff Reporter

PONDICHERRY, JAN. 22. The Pondicherry Ministerial Staff Federation has called upon the Government to evolve a scheme to provide financial assistance for Scheduled Caste students doing professional courses in private self-financing colleges.

N. Jothi, general secretary, said here today that a detailed letter had been presented to the Chief Minister. The Administration was providing assistance from out of the State funds through the Directorate of Education to other categories of students where the annual income of their parents was less than Rs. 25,000. The Government was also assisting students selected through the Centralised Admission Committee.

Mr. Jothi said the Administration could formulate a scheme and implement it through the Department of Adi Dravidar Welfare to pay scholarship to SC students of self-financing colleges.
