Scholarship for SC students to reach Bank Accounts directly.

   The unearthing of a scandal in the disbursal of scholarship amount to school students of Scheduled Castes in Namakkal district a few months ago has prompted the State Government to decide that the money would hereafter be transferred to the savings bank accounts of beneficiary-students.

   Chief Minister Jayalalithaa gave an instruction to this effect at the recent conference of Collectors and Police Officers, a senior official said.

   As part of the Chief Minister’s direction, 2.5 lakh eligible students, studying in government and government-aided schools, would be covered. The basic savings accounts would have to be opened in banks so that the amount due to the students would be transferred directly. In case some students have SB accounts in post offices, they can also be covered.
