Rs.500/-per Month as Scholarship for Lone Ward in Classes XI, XII
The CBSE has finally stepped in to take the girl child under its wings. After private schools all over the country raised a hue and cry against the freeship offered to single girl child, the board has come forward and announced scholarships of Rs500 per month for every single girl child in classes XI and XII who has scored 60% or above in her class X board examinations.
These scholarships will be offered only to students of the schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000 and will come into effect from the 2006-2007 session. “Instead of asking schools to waive fees, we have decided to take the responsibility on ourselves. These scholarships are aimed at promoting single girl child. Any student serious about her studies will get a chance to continue her education after Class X,” said board chairman Ashok Ganguly.
In order to implement the scheme, the board would require parents of such children to swear in an affidavit. Parents will also have to intimate the school as well as CBSE in case there is any change in the single status of the child. And in case the affidavit turns out to be false, the board may even withhold the certificates of such children.
“It’s a hassle-free, self-selecting process. Board-exam score is the only parameter for the scholarship. And this particular parameter is being used because we want to avoid nepotism and make this a free and fair system,” said Ganguly. The only criteria is that the scheme is open to students in schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000. “Students in schools where the monthly fee is above Rs1, 000 will not be eligible for the scholarship. Which effectively means that the scholarship does not aim to benefit a child from a very affluent background,” added Ganguly.
And depending on the success of the scheme, the board has hinted that it could consider offering similar scholarships at a lower class as well. “In our country, many kids drop out of school even before reaching class X level so sometime in the future, we could even consider classes IX and X or more for it,” added Ganguly. The CBSE has also reiterated its earlier demand to schools to extend fee waivers to single girl children.

The High Court stay on the CBSE circular making it mandatory for all affiliated schools to offer free education to single girl children from Class VI onwards has spelt relief for such institutions. They say the court intervention is timely and crucial for containing a directive that has not been given much thought out.
While many private schools had dismissed the measure as another faulty plan which was unlikely to give the desired result, the question haunting most was about who would foot the bill.
The government had passed the directive, but had given no explanation about how schools were

These scholarships are self-selective. Meritorious students of the AIPMT/AIEEE and Class XII public examinations, conducted by the board 2005 onwards, will be automatically considered. They would be valid for any other scholarship or benefit as well. A total of 500 scholarships a year (2,000 annually after four years), each worth Rs 1,000 per month, would be awarded for four years to those pursuing medical/engineering courses in the institutes participating in the CBS-conducted AIPMT/AIEE examinations or the Union government-controlled/aided institutes.
After a 17-year trial, a Delhi court has ruled against the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for undue delay and negligence in declaring the revised Class XII board exam marks of a student.
