Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa met Secretary to the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, Saurabh Garg in New Delhi and urged him to clear the e-rupi scheme for Karnataka in a bid to remove bottlenecks in the implementation of the scholarship programme.
Mr. Mahadevappa, who is also the Minister in charge of Mysuru district, met Mr. Garg on Tuesday and submitted a detailed proposal on implementation of e-rupi scheme in Karnataka on a pilot basis.
The e-rupi scheme ensures that the scholarship amount given to the students through Direct Benefit Scheme (DBT) helps clear the tuition fee.
