## MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2532 ANSWERED ON 16.03.2023

## SCHOLARSHIPSTO MINORITIES

## 2532.  SHRI M.K. RAGHAVAN:

Will the Minister of MINORITY AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government proposes to stop the minority scholarships across the country and if so, the details thereof; and

(b) the quantum of funds allocated, sanctioned, released and utilized for minority scholarships in the country during the last five years and the current year, State/UT-wise including Kerala?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a): The Government has implemented various schemes for the welfare and upliftment of every strata, including minorities, especially the economically weaker and lesser privileged sections of the society, through various schemes of the Ministry of Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Rural Development.

Ministry  of  Minority  Affairs  has  also  implemented  various  schemes,  including  various Scholarship and Fellowship schemes, across the country for socio-economic and educational empowerment of the notified minority communities.

The  coverage  under  the  Pre-Matric  Scholarship  Scheme  for  classes  I  to  VIII  has  been discontinued  from  2022-23.  Right  to  Education  (RTE)  Act,  2009  provides  for  free  and compulsory elementary education (classes I to VIII) to each and every child. This modification has also been done to harmonize the scheme with identical Scholarship schemes implemented by other Central Government Ministries.

(b):  State-wise  fund  allocation  is  not  done.  The  year-wise  details  of  funds  sanctioned  to minorities under the Pre-Matric,  Post  Matric  and  Merit-cum-Means  based  Scholarship Schemes in the country during the last five years and the current year, State/UT-wise including Kerala, are annexed.
