## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Starred Question  No.  *229  for  answer  on  5 th August,  2015  asked  by  Shri Sirajuddin Ajmal regarding 'Scholarship Scheme for Minority Communities'.

- (a)  to (e)     : In  order  to  support  the  education  of  the  eligible  students  belonging  to  the  notified minority  communities,  three  Scholarship  Schemes  namely  Pre-matric  Scholarship  for classes I  to  X;  Post-matric  Scholarship  for  classes  XI  to  Ph.D;  and  Merit-cum-means based Scholarship for professional and technical courses at under-graduate and postgraduate levels are implemented by the Ministry of Minority Affairs.

In addition, Maulana Azad Education Foundation (MAEF), an autonomous body under the  Ministry  of  Minority  Affairs,  implements  an  exclusive  scheme  of  scholarship  for eligible  meritorious  minority  girls  to  support  their  education  in  class  XI  to  XII.  This scholarship, of Rs. 6,000/- per annum, is awarded to the eligible students.

There  is  no  State-wise  fund  allocation  under  the  above  mentioned  Schemes.  The details of funds allocated and utilized by the Ministry under the said Schemes during the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-I . The State-wise details of fund released  under  the  Pre-matric,  Post-matric  and  Merit-cum-means  based  Scholarship Schemes  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year  are  at Annexure-II .  The State-wise and Community-wise detail of students benefited under  each of the above Schemes during the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-III, IV & V . In the case of MAEF, no funds are released to States/UTs. Scholarship is directly awarded to the students. The State-wise, year-wise and community-wise number of minority girls covered under the scheme of MAEF are at Annexure-VI .

To simplify the procedure for awarding scholarships to the students, activity timelines are drawn up and communicated to all States/UTs and stakeholders at the beginning of each year as  well  as  posted  on  the  website  of  the  Ministry.  From  the  year  2015-16, students belonging to the minority communities are required to apply for the scholarship online  on  a  dedicated  scholarship  portal  i.e.  National  Scholarship  Portal  (NSP)  under URL: www.scholarships.gov.in and scholarships are required to be distributed through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode to the students' bank accounts. Moreover, now the  students  can  submit  self  declaration/  self  certification  and  self  attested  copies  of documents  in  respect  of  Religion  Certificate,  annual  family  income,  marksheets  etc. Periodic  reviews  are  undertaken  with  the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations  and Banks.
