Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, April 15-
Haryana CS Anurag Rastogi today reviewed the implementation of the Post-Matric Scholarship (PMS) schemes for SC and OBC students. These centrally sponsored schemes are currently being implemented by seven departments, namely Higher Education, Technical Education, Medical Education and Research, Skill Development and Industrial Training, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, AYUSH, and School (Secondary) Education Departments. During the meeting, Sh. Rastogi emphasized the need for timely disbursal of scholarships and directed all concerned departments to clear pending cases without delay.
He further instructed the School Education Department to make full use of the Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC students and Component-I of the Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme for OBC students, which are funded by the Government of India. These schemes play a crucial role in supporting the education of students from disadvantaged communities at the school level.
Highlighting the need for financial discipline, the Chief Secretary stressed the timely submission of Utilization Certificates (UCs) to ensure prompt reimbursement of funds by the central government.
