Mumbai: The state cabinet has approved to disburse the scholarship amount offline as lakhs of students and parents are suffering due to failure of the government scheme which was supposed to distribute scholarships to the tribal and backward class students.

The government had decided to disburse all scholarships of social justice, higher and technical education department and tribal department through the online portal of IT department. But it could not be activated since a few months, as they have not received the data in a prescribed format. So the government released 60 per cent of the scholarship amount offline because of the unrest among the students and parents. Many colleges had asked students to pay the fees as they have not received government aid.

Now the cabinet has approved the release of these scholarships offline on some conditions . This amount will be deposited in an Aadhar connected bank account of the students. If these accounts are not available, then the money can be released to the educational institute. The government will disburse the amount to the students who have not got any aid in this academic year in 4 weeks.
