Government assessing strength of students, says Minister
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The government is making an assessment of the strength of students in all categories of self-financing colleges including arts and science, medical and engineering, and the proportion of students who will be eligible to receive scholarship and free education, Backward Classes Minister K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran told the Assembly on Tuesday.
The government was also looking into the expenditure involved in providing scholarship and free education to eligible students in the colleges.
All these required a policy decision, the Minister said, responding to a calling attention motion introduced by a group of members on the termination of scholarship to BC and Most Backward Classes students in Kanyakumari district.
At present, BC/MBC/Denotified Communities’ students of self-financing colleges, who were admitted under the government quota were eligible for the schemes, apart from government and government-aided institutions.
In some districts, the students admitted under the management quota in the self-financing colleges had been given the assistance wrongly. After State auditors had raised objections, this was stopped. The government had not acted upon the recommendation of the auditors that the money given to the students be recovered.
On some officials forging the signature of the Primary Education Director for the transfer of nine teachers in Natham union in Dindigul district, School Education Minister Thangam Thennarasu said a case had been filed against two officials and one more person. While one official had been suspended and arrested, another official and the third person were absconding.
The police were pursuing the matter.
The teachers had been suspended.
