Money will be directly transferred to students’ account
In a first, the Uttar Pradesh government has implemented an e-scholarship programme to ensure timely payment of scholarships to over two crore students. Under this, the scholarships will be directly transferred to the bank accounts of the students electronically.
The recipients, belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Caste (OBC), minority communities and Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, had complained of not receiving their scholarships and sometimes even receiving lapsed cheques.
