The All India Democratic Students’ Union (AIDSO) has urged the State government to withdraw its reported decision to cut down scholarships given to the children of construction workers.
A memorandum in this regard was submitted to the Minister for Labour through the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Mysuru.
The student scholarship given to the children of construction workers in the State had been drastically reduced. The government was disbursing scholarships annually from ₹5,000 to ₹60,000 but it has been reduced from ₹1,100 to ₹11,000 per annum, a note from AIDSO said here.
