Minister of Social Justice And Empowerment, Thaawarchand Gehlot said that the government has taken a decision to pay the scholarship amount to the SC students in one full payment.<br />''<br />'' He also said that there were some delays in the payment of the scholarships in the previous years. Replying to a question raised in the Lok Sabha, Minister also said the scholarship schemes are being revamped.<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">Mr Gehlot said that due to the 'Committed Liability' concept, maximum part of the financial burden had to be borne by the State Governments/UT Administrations in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and the Central share became minimal.<br />''<br />'' It has, therefore, been envisaged to change the funding pattern under the scheme from 'Committed Liability' to a pre-decided ' fixed sharing ratio' between Centre and the States/UTs. This will ensure certainty about flow of funds and reduce the financial burden on the State, the minister added.</span><br />
