## ANSWER MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI)

- (a): The number of students who have been provided Pre-Matric, Post-Matric and Merit-cum-Means  based  Scholarships  during  the  last  three  years  i.e.  2016-17  to 2018-19, State-wise, is annexed.
- (b) & (c): The  details  of  funds  allocation  and  expenditure  incurred  under  PreMatric,  Post-Matric  and  Merit-cum-Means  based  Scholarship  Schemes  during  the last three years i.e. 2016-17 to 2018-19 and the current year is as follows:

(In Rs. Crore)

| Scheme   | Pre-Matric      | Pre-Matric           | Post-Matric     | Post-Matric          | Merit-cum-Means   | Merit-cum-Means      |
|----------|-----------------|----------------------|-----------------|----------------------|-------------------|----------------------|
| Year     | Funds allocated | Expenditure incurred | Funds allocated | Expenditure incurred | Funds allocated   | Expenditure incurred |
| 2016-17  | 931.00          | 585.94               | 550.00          | 287.11               | 395.00            | 220.54               |
| 2017-18  | 1108.13         | 1108.13              | 561.29          | 479.72               | 393.54            | 388.79               |
| 2018-19  | 1269.00         | 1176.19              | 500.00          | 354.89               | 402.00            | 261.17               |
| 2019-20  | 1199.82         | *738.73              | 482.66          | *280.54              | 361.51            | *212.48              |

*  -  Provisional  Data  as  on  06.03.2020.  Disbursement  of  scholarships  continues during 2019-20.

(d): Evaluation Studies of Pre-Matric, Post Matric and Merit-cum-Means based Scholarship schemes have been carried out by an independent agency- M/s Research & Development Initiative in 2013-14. It observed that the Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme has been able to achieve its objectives to a large extent as it has reached the most deprived in the minorities; raised  their  demand  for  school  education;  reduced  the  financial  burden  of  poor  parents; enabled  most  children  to  stay  through  school  education;  and  improve  their  performance levels. The Post Matric Scholarship scheme has been also able to achieve its objectives to a large extent as it has reached the most deprived in the minorities; raised their demand for higher  secondary  and  higher  education;  somewhat  reduced  the  financial  burden  of  poor parents;  enabled  a  large  proportion  of  beneficiaries  to  stay  through  their  course/higher education;  improved  their  performance  levels.  These  perceived  impacts  of  the  Post-matric Scholarship  Scheme  are  statistically  significant.  Similarly,  the  Merit-cum-Means  based Scholarship scheme has been able to achieve its objectives by reaching the most deprived in the  minorities;  raised  their  demand  for  technical  and  professional  education;  somewhat reduced the financial burden of poor parents; enabled a large proportion of beneficiaries to stay  through  their  technical/professional  course;  improved  their  performance  levels.  It  has also  observed  that  these  schemes  have  contributed  significantly  towards  the  long  term objective of empowering the minorities through education.

(e):  The  aforesaid  three  Scholarship  Schemes  for  Minorities  are  proposed  for continuation beyond 2019-20. As such, all aspects, including raising the number and amount of scholarships or otherwise are to be looked into by this Ministry during the process of approval of these schemes for such period.
