Government has taken actions following representations from Minority Organizations from time to time which highlighted problems like inadequate time limit for submission of applications for scholarship schemes implemented by Ministry of Minority Affairs, delay in disbursement of scholarships, reluctance by banks in opening of zero balance accounts, etc. Actions taken to address these problems include introduction of ‘Online Scholarship Management System’ for Merit-cum-Means based scholarship scheme, extension of time limit for submission of fresh as well as renewal applications, stricter monitoring of scholarship schemes, etc. Schematic changes in the ongoing programmes have also been taken up before the Working Group constituted by the Planning Commission for formulating the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17).
