Members of the Mannin Mainthargal Kazhagam staged a protest in front of the district Collectorate here on Tuesday alleging irregularities in the disposal of post-matric scholarships for students belonging to SC/ST community.
The protesters alleged that the State Government has not distributed the scholarship amount for the past two financial years and several students are affected due to this.
“Thousands of underprivileged students across the State are dependant on this scholarship and the State Government, despite allocating thousands of crores in the past three budgets, has not dispersed the amount promptly”, said S. Ezhumalai, Urban secretary of the association.
He added that several students had to discontinue their studies and take up irregular jobs due to this.
