SP govt had even pocketed scholarship money: CM

Lucknow, Oct 3 (UNI) Launching a strong attack on the previous Samajwadi Party government, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that scholarships for students belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes were not even sent in 2016-17.
“The then government had pocketed this scholarship,” he said. When our government was formed in 2017, we sent the scholarships for 2016-17 and 2017-18 together. Earlier, the government provided only Rs. 2,900 crore in scholarships. Today, our government provides Rs. 6,200 crore in scholarships, more than double the earlier amount.
On Saturday, CM transferred more than Rs. 148 crore in scholarship/fee reimbursement to the accounts of over 4.60 lakh students of Pre-Matric (Classes 9-10) and Post-Matric classes for the current financial year at Lok Bhawan and also personally handed scholarship certificates to 11 students.
