Early Times Report
Kulgam, May 9: The officials in Union Ministry of Minority
Affairs have allegedly scammed the scholarship scheme-Merit cum means
scholarship for professional technical courses by sanctioned scholarships in favor
of fake names.
The large scale disparities in the final list of candidates have
surfaced on National scholarship scheme website where scholarships have been sanctioned
against hundreds of fake names and it certainly exposes the tall claims of
clean, efficient and transparent governance.
For South Kashmir’s Kulgam district the ministry has
sanctioned scholarship for Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 in favor of 474 students
studying in different parts of the county, however the list shows large scale disparity.
The website shows that most of the candidates belong to
Mandal family and their parents have been shown as Muslims and hailing from
Kulgam district of Kashmir.
SAMRAT MANDAL s/o MDESTEYAK ALAM with application number JK201819011021069
has been shown as Muslim and is
studying in VIGNANA BHARATHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PRODDATUR. An amount of
Rs 30,000 has been sanctioned in his favor for pursing a 3 year course in
Computer Science.
Father’s name of Samrat Mandal, another candidate has been
shown as Salim Akther which is highly unlikely as Akther is post fixed with
females names only.
According to the website, The Union Ministry of Minority
Affairs has sanctioned over 1.20Cr under the scheme for Kulgam district for
such ‘fake’ candidates.
Locals activists are demanding a fair probe into what they
call a ‘scam’.
