Hyderabad: Thousands of Model School students are deprived of scholarships as the names of their schools were not mapped (listed in) in the social welfare department website, even after one year of their establishment. Despite the representations from school principals and teachers, nothing has been done in this direction and the names of schools were not entered for scholarships. The pre matric and post matric scholarships are part of the central government scheme in which Centre releases 75 percent and State adds remaining 25 percent of the total aid given to students.
Model Schools of Nizamabad (15), Karimnagar (43), Rangareddy (7) and Mahbubnagar (7) were reportedly not mapped in the website that releases passwords and e-pass to the students. Model Schools Teachers Association president Dasarath Yadav said that students were waiting for their scholarships without knowing the fact that their schools were not even listed for the same. He said that district officials were informed about the problem and they directed us to contact regional joint directors. “The school representatives ran pillar to post for the names to be enrolled as several students left the schools and many others planning to leave.” He said that the commissioner of school education supervises the Model Schools and nothing has been done on their part to help the students to get their scholarships.
Karimnagar comes under 5th zone and remaining districts Nizamabad, Rangareddy and Mahbubnagar come under 6th zone. Among total the 176 functioning Model Schools, names and details of around 70 schools were not mapped in the website. Strength of each school is up to 320 in classes from 6th to 10th along with 160 students in 10+2 classes.
Dichpally Model School incharge Ganesh Kumar said that officials don’t even know that Model School students were entitled to get the benefits of this scheme. He said, “Because of their laxity thousands of students already lost their one year scholarship.”
When students studying in Models Schools of other districts can get the scholarship how would some districts were excluded from the scheme, he questioned. The Model Schools, which were started functioning from the June 2013 in the state completed one year few months ago. Officials in the social welfare department which is now renamed as Scheduled Caste Development Department did not respond to the queries pertaining to scholarships.
