Gujarat: Muslim Students, Parents Struggle With Cancellation of Pre ... (Live Wire)

Gandhinagar: On November 25, 2022, the Union government decided to cancel the pre-matric scholarships for students from class 1 to 8 belonging to minority ...

“Had I been in this situation I would not have been able to complete my PhD; it is not only unfair, but also pushing Muslims to illiteracy.” Chiroliya also added that while not many pursued PhDs in the state, this action would disable economically deprived persons from the minority community to pursue an education at all. He added that as even minority-run schools were exempt from implementing the RTE policy and did not fall under the government’s Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, this would be problematic in case a student from a minority community went to study in a minority-run school of another community. In this pre-matric scholarship, the Union and state governments share the financial burden in the ratio of 75:25. “We don’t know where to go now, how to help these children in the middle of their academic years,” he said. The then Gujarat government had appealed to the Supreme Court in this matter, challenging the Gujarat high court verdict upholding tge constitutional validity of the scholarship. Rather than spending crores on their own advertising, they should spend on the future of our country,” said Doshi. In its widely criticised move, the government restricted the pre-matric scholarship scheme meant for minority communities to only include students of classes 9 and 10. Students of classes 9 and 10 receive Rs 5,000 annually as scholarship and students studying in classes 11 and 12 receive Rs 6,000. “Parents, students and even us school staff are worried about the future of these children,” he said. The Begum Hazrat Mahal scholarship is for girl students in classes 9 to 12 from the minority community. For Chohan Isha, a student of class 7 from Modasa, the cancelled scholarship means her dream of becoming a teacher is going dark. While one was aiding students in their early education, the other fellowship aided research scholars from the minority communities.

My students that are currently there through the program are not just succeeding, but they're thriving," he said. The culture hasn't changed, but the population has and along with that have changed the lives of the kids who go there."
