The Ministry of Minority Affairs has set a target of distributing 9.5 lakh Post-matric Scholarships to the students belonging to Minority communities during the current FY 2012-13. Thus this target is more than 180% of the number that was set as target during the last FY 2011-12 (5.25 lakh scholarships) – although the Ministry distributed a total of 7,01,950 Post-matric scholarships during 2011-12. Another milestone in the implementation of this Scheme during 2011-12 was that 53.49 % scholarships went to girl students – which means more girl students benefitted from this Scheme than the boys! For distributing these scholarships, the Ministry released an amount of Rs. 362.99 crore during 2011-12. The Plan Budget for Post-matric Scholarship Scheme during 2012-13 is set at Rs. 500 crore.
