Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday said his government has decided to revive the Vivekananda Merit Scholarship Yojana to support economically weaker students irrespective of their caste and faith, while discontinuing religion-based assistance to imams and others.
Addressing a felicitation programme for 221 meritorious students who excelled in Madhyamik, Higher Secondary, madrassa and central board examinations, he said financial constraints should never become a barrier to higher education.
