(ii) CENTRAL SECTOR SCHEME OF UPGRADATION OF MERIT OF SC/ST STUDENTS
This is a scheme of
Government of
1. Scope
The SC/ST stuents, because of their educational deficiencies,are unable to take advantage of the various avenurs which have become available through reservation of seats. Consequently, the quota reservation of seats. Consequently, the qpta reserved for them in technical and professional courses likeengineering and Medical, remain under utilized. Some students whom are able to get admission in these courses with relaxed eligibility conditions, othen find it difficult to either Complete the course or take more tham the specified time for completion of the instructional, programme. Their inadequate educational preparation also prevents their employment in occupations where entry is on the balis of competitive examinations.
II. Description of the Scheme and its objectives
The Scheme of Upgradation of Merit of SC/ST students provides for 100% Central Assistance to States/Urs fpr arranging remedial and special coaching for Scheduled castes and Schedulded tribes students studying in class IX to XII. While remedial coaching aims at removing deficiencies in school subjects. Special coaching in provided with a view to prepare students for comotitive exzminations for entry into professiona courses like Engineering and Medical. The main objective of the scheme is to upgrade the merit of scheduled caste/Scheduled medical. The main objective of the scheme is to upgrade the merit of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe students by providing them with facilities for all round development through educaion in residential schools. This is proposed to be done by:
Removing their educational deficiencies,
Facilitating their entry into professional, courses be upgrading their merit so that they can compete with other students for admission to higher education courses and for senior administrative and technical occupations generating self-confidence and self reliance in them.
III. Selection of schools
Each State may use their own discretion in deciding numbers and location of schools in different districts/towns on the basis of their illiterate population of SCs/STs. The schools selected under the scheme should have the facilities necessary for all round development of the child, enough hostel facilities and should have shown good academic results in the past few years years consistently. Good schools particularly in rural arras may be chosen. Kendriya vidyalayas which have hostel facilities may also be chosen for placement of SC/ST students. Only those schools should be selected by the State Government where students belonging to SC/ST communities will fee at home. The selected schools should also be those that are interested and feel involvex in improving the capabilities of the students belonging to SCs/DTs to enable them to compete more effectively for admission to professional colleges/institutions or to overcome educational deficiencies. While the State Governments are free to choose any number of schools for implementation of the schemes, the total hombre of awards allotted to each State per annum should not be exceeded. The schools selected will be intimated to this Ministry by the state Governments.
IV. Coverage
To begin with 1045 students will be covered under the scheme. The coaching should start at class IX level and continue till student has completed class XII. This is proposed with a view to making sufficient time till able for coaching as well as meaningful interaction between these children and others. Thus a period of four years would be available for intensive training and coaching to a student to make up for his/her educational efficiencies and to enable him/her to compete for entry into collegiate level courses, particularly. In professional disciplines and ultimately for senior and remunerative politicians on their own merit. Although entry point under the Scheme would be class IX, a student may be enrolled in class X/XI if he/she has shown excellent performance in the precious examination and if he/she had missed entry at class IX level for any reason.
Thus each State Government will have number of awards fixed as given in Annexure. While one batch of student enter class IX, the earlier batch in class XII will be going out, thus keeping the total awards at the same level. For example. If a State has 5 awards, it will work out as under :
Class IX - 5
Class X - 5
Class XI - 5
Class XII - 5
Total -20
The State Government may use their discretion to decide the allotments of seats among Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes on the basis of illiterate population of the SC/ST communities and keeping in view the overall parameters of the scheme. While the revised scheme takes effect from 1998 –99 the State Governments should ensure that student already getting coaching under the scheme are not disturbed and continue to get their coaching.
V. Nature of Coaching
Coaching will be both remedial, with a view to removing deficiencies in school subjects and special for preparing student for competitive examinations required for entry into professional courses like Engineering and Medicine. The emphasis of remedial coaching would be to remove educational deficiencies from which these students suller and to promote study habits. It is found that educational deficiencies generally result form inadequate linguistic skills and lack of under standing of basic concepts in Mathematics and science. It is therefore, proposed to provide coaching in linguistic skills, science and mathematics, coaching for competitive examinations i.e. special coaching will be more specific and organized in relation to the competencies required by professional institutions for passing their entry examination. Syllabi for special coaching will need to be prepared with the help of Experts. While remedial coaching will continue throughout the stay of students in the selected schools (Class IX-XII). Intensive coaching for competitive examinations will be provided to them on Sundays, holidays and during summer/winter vacation. Special coaching should be arranged at some centrally placed schools where students of class XI and XII of the nearby schools participating in the programme can gather on specified days.
Coaching will be done after schools hours. Teacher providing coaching to students will be paid remuneration. The principals of the schools would also need to be involved in the programme and take responsibility for ensuring satisfactory implementation. Some honorarium will be provided to them. The State Governments/UTs should furnish a report on the performance of these students while seeking fresh grants.
VI. Selection of Teachers
For remedial coaching, faculty of the schools selected under the scheme would be given preference. Where it is not possible to find suitable teachers for a specific course of study, service of teachers form neighboring schools will be requisitioned. It should be ensured that not less than 10-12 hours a week are devoted by a teacher to the coaching of the students.
For special coaching, a part form school teachers wherever possible and available faculty of professional institutions would be invited. For this purpose professional institutions which may be located near the school where coach is provided will be preferred, so as to economics on expenditure on traveling.
VIII. Preference to Girls students and Handicapped students.
While selecting the students, the State Government/UTs should have a target to include at least 30% firl SC/ST students, wherever possible. Target should also be fixed to include at least 3% disabled SC/ST students wherever possible. Besides the amount of scholarship, students with disabilities would also be eligible for the following assistance:
(a) Reader allowances of Rs. 100 per month for blind students in classes IX to XIJ.

@rs. 500 per month for 10 months.

In case a State does not send any proposal, funds earmarked for that State are likely to be lapsed. In order to obviate this, the Ministry of Welfare will have discretion to use a cushion of at least 10% of budget allocation for diverting the funds from one state to another to meet the unforeseen increased demand, out of internal resources of the Ministry of welfare by way of re-appropriation within the Ministry of Welfare.

(v) SCHEME OF HOSTELS FOR OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES (OBC) BOYS AND GIRLS.
1. OBJECTIVES
This is a 50:50 sharing basis scheme of Government of India/State Government.
Even after 50 years of independence and in spite of various measures taken to improve the level of education in the country, literacy levels among Backward classes, particularly among women, continues to be extremely low. A number of steps have already been taken by the government and considerable progress has been achieved in improving the level of literacy and education during the last 50 years, but there is still a long way to go before respectable levels of literacy are achieved. It has been recognized that educational and economic support for Backward Classes has not been adequate and there is disparity between them and the non- backward sections of the population at every level. In view of the same, it is felt that earnest efforts are required to introduce various new schemes specifically for these target group i.e backward classes to provide them a level playing field in comparison to non-backward sections of the population.
The position of women in terms of literacy among OBC’s population is also a cause of concern. Considering the important role of women in shaping the size of the family and outlook of its members, investment in improving education among women of these communities will not only improve their social and economic status, but will also help in accelerating the socio-economic development of these communities and the nation as a whole.
It is self-evident and universally accepted fact that education is one of the key instruments of effective development of weaker sections. The education facilities are not evenly distributed throughout the country. Many a times students from rural areas especially those belonging to weaker sections have to give up their educational pursuits for the reason that adequate hostel facilities are not available for them in the quality education centers. Having considered this problem the Working Group on development and welfare of Backward Classes recommended a scheme of Hostels for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) Boys and Girls.
2. SCOPE AND ELIGIBILITY
The Scheme aims at
proving better education opportunities to students belonging to socially and
educationally backward classes notified as such in the Central/State/UT
Administration Lists of Backward Classes, generally referred to as Other
Backward Classes (OBCs). It would , however not cover students belonging to the
creamy layer as defined in the Govt. of India, Ministry of Personnel and Public
Grievances and Pensions ( Department of Personnel and Training) O.M. No.
36012/22/93-Estt. (SCT) dated
The hostels under the scheme should be constructed at any place where the concerned educational institutions are situated keeping in view the concentrations of OBC population in the particular place/area where the educational facilities are inadequate. These hostels could also be constructed in a particular place/area where quality education is available but residential facilities for the target group is not adequately available which will depend upon the number of students enrolled in that particular institution. Each institution will be provided central assistance for construction of girls/boys hostels for a maximum of 100 seats.
The hostels will have built space for residential facilities for students, hostels warden, chowkidar and provision of boundary wall surrounding the campus. The agency concerned will be assisted for construction of such complexes based on State/UT PWD schedule of rates. However, if a State/UT is following CPWD rates also the costs will be worked out on the basis of “whichever is lesser” in the schedule of rates. In the case of States/UTs following CPWD rates only CPWD rates will apply. The agency concerned will be assisted for construction of such facility only after proof of land availability is produced for the particular location and plan and estimates of the building is duly approved by the concerned technical department of State/UT and submitted to the Ministry of Social justice and Empowerment. The local materials would be used as far as possible in order to reduce cost of construction.
The organizations eligible for assistance shall be as follows:-
1) The state Governments and UTs concerned.
2) Institutions or organization set up by Government as autonomous body under statute or as a society under the Registration of Societies Act, 1860 or otherwise.
3) Educational and other institutions owned and controlled by either Central Government/state Govt./UTs.
3. PROCEDURE FOR RELEASE OF GRANT-IN-AID & FUNDING PATTERN
Under the Scheme 50% central assistance will be given for such construction in such cases the remaining 50% of the construction cost will have to be borne by the concerned State Govt. etc. The budget availability will have to be shown in advance while submitting the proposal for such construction. Under the scheme 100% central assistance will be given to the Central Government Institutions and UTs proposing to set up such hostels. The entire expenditure on procurement of land, staffing and other maintenance and day to day expenditure shall be borne by the State Government/UT concerned. Maintenance of such facilities will be the responsibility of the concerned agency to which such construction grant has been sanctioned. The concerned State Government may also explore the possibility of maintaining such facility through NGO functionaries in case if it is necessary.
4. MONITORING
The monitoring of the financial and physical performance of the scheme will be done through seeking detailed information from the Agencies implementing the Scheme. On the physical aspects the Agencies implementing the scheme will be required to furnish quarterly progress reports regarding the construction works. Once the hostel is thrown open to the beneficiaries information will be furnished by the Agencies, occupancy wise annually. On the financial side details of actual expenditure incurred out of central assistance, during the last financial year and expenditure proposed for the present financial year will be submitted by the Agencies concerned. The Agencies implementing the scheme will also be insisted upon to submit the latest audited accounts.
5. EVALUATION
