## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI)

- (a)  :  For  the  educational  empowerment  of  the  students  belonging  to  the  notified  minority communities, the Ministry of Minority Affairs implements Pre-matric Scholarship Scheme for  class I  to  X. The number of students belonging to Muslim community benefited upto class X during the 11th and 12 th Plan (upto 2014-15), year-wise and State-wise including Telanagana  is  at Annexure .  Class-wise  data  was  not  maintained  under  Pre-matric Scholarships  Scheme  till  2014-15  as  the  scheme  was  implemented  by  States/UT Administration.
- (b)  :  To  ensure  effective  implementation  of  the  Scheme,  activity  timelines  are  drawn  up  and communicated to all States/UTs and stakeholders as well as posted on the website of the Ministry. From the year 2015-16, students belonging to minority communities are required to apply for the scholarship online (mandatory for IX & X) 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  State Governments/UT  Administrations.  Further,  as  regards  sensitization  and  publicity  of  the scholarship  schemes,  Ministry  runs  specific  multimedia  campaign  for  each  scholarship programme namely Pre-matric, Post-matric and Merit-cum Means (MCM) based Scholarship  on  All  India  Radio  (AIR)  Network  and  Doordarshan  Network  including  their Regional  and  NE  channels,  Private  FM  channels  and  Private  TV  channels  and  Digital Cinema all across the country including NE States.  In addition, from time to time, Print Advertisements  of  Scholarship  Programmes  are  also  published  all  over  India  in  Hindi, English, Urdu and Vernacular languages.
