## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO    IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  to  (e)  OF  THE STARRED  QUESTION  NO  *316  FOR  ANSWER  ON  15.07.2019    REGARDING SCHOLARSHIP SCHEMES OF TRIBAL STUDENTS.

- (a): The  Ministry is implementing  following  scholarship  schemes  for  facilitating education of Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in the country: -
- (i) Pre-Matric Scholarship for ST students (Class IX and X)
- (ii) Post Matric Scholarship for ST students.(Class XI onwards)
- (iii) National Fellowship and Scholarship for Higher Education for ST students.
- (iv) National Overseas Scholarships for ST students for studying abroad.

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs has been implementing Centrally Sponsored schemes viz.,(i) Pre-Matric Scholarship and (ii)Post Matric Scholarship  for  Scheduled  Tribe  (ST)  students,  through  the  States/UTs.    The details of funds released and utilised under Pre-Matric and Post Matric Scholarship  schemes  for  Scheduled  Tribe  students  during  the  last  three  years and  the  current  year,  State/UT-wise  and  year-wise  are  as  per  Annexure.I  &  II respectively.

Under  the  scheme  of  National  Fellowship  and  Scholarship  for  Higher Education  for  ST  students,  disbursement  of  scholarship  is  made  to  bank accounts of students by DBT mode/ identified Institutes.   In so far as the scheme of  National  Overseas  Scholarships  for  ST  students  for  studying  abroad  is concerned,  the  scholarship  amount  is  disbursed  through  the  Indian  Missions abroad/      Ministry  of  External  Affairs.    Details  of  funds  released  under  these schemes during the last three years and the current year is given at Annexure.III.

(b):  Under the Centrally Sponsored schemes  viz.,(i) Pre-Matric Scholarship and (ii)Post Matric  Scholarship  for  Scheduled  Tribe  (ST)  students,  being  implemented  through States, the States Governments publish advertisements every year  in local newspapers/ social media  about  the  applicability of the schemes,  send  circulars to  Schools /Institutions and also organise Adivasi Vidyarthi Sammelan etc to make students aware of the scholarship schemes.

For  Fellowship  and  National  Overseas  Scholarship  for  ST  students,  Ministry  invites applications by publishing advertisements in Employment News and Ministry's website, and the universities are also informed to advise the students to apply.  Applications for Scholarship for Higher Education (Top Class Education) of ST students are obtained on National Scholarship Portal (NSP) and, for this purpose, apart from details placed on the NSP, all the concerned Institutes are also informed to make the students aware of the scheme and to encourage them to register their applications for availing the scholarship.

- (c ): The amount of scholarship whenever revised under the schemes for Scheduled Tribe  students at (a) above, are kept at par with similar schemes of other Ministries. The enhancement, if any, in the amount of scholarship under the schemes as and when considered is decided by the competent authority from time to time.

(d) & (e): The  receipt  of  proposals  from  the  State  Governments  for  grant  in  aid under  the  schemes  (i)Pre-Matric  Scholarship  and  (ii)  Post  Matric  Scholarship  for Scheduled Tribe (ST) students is an ongoing and continuous process.  These schemes are  demand  driven  and  funds  are  released  on  receipt  of  proposals  complete  in  all respects  including  Utilization  Certificates  and  subject  to  availability  of  funds  in  a particular  year.    The  State  Governments/  UT  Administrations  have  been  regularly requested to submit their proposals well in time. The DBT Mission has mandated that the  amount  of  scholarship  should  go  to  the  account  of  students  by  Direct  Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode.  In this regard, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs has informed all State Governments  and  emphasised  the  requirement  of  inviting  applications  through  portal. Nineteen (19) States use their own portal and seven (7) States use National Scholarship Portal  (NSP)  for  receiving  the  applications.    This  has  resulted  in  timely  receipt  of applications, verification and disbursement of scholarship amount.
