All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has urged the State government to restore student scholarships for children of workers.
The government has reduced the amount under scholarships to between ₹1,000 and ₹11,000 from the earlier ₹5,000 and ₹60,000. This is anti-student and anti-worker. The amount should not only be restored but also increased, they said in a memorandum to the government.
A copy of the memorandum was submitted to the Additional Deputy Commissioner Vijay Kumar Honkeri in Belagavi on Friday.
