Release degree to SC students in 3 days, institutes told
Chandigarh: 16.01.2021
Taking note of withholding of degrees of SC students by private colleges/institutions owing to non-payment of fees after the closure of post-matric scheme for SC students by the central government in 2017, the Punjab Government on Friday directed all the institutions to release degrees to such students within three days.
The decision was taken during the meeting of the high-powered committee of the group of ministers (GoM) under the chairmanship of finance minister Manpreet Singh Badal to decide on the pending issues of 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 as a result of closure of the scheme.
After the meeting, Manpreet said that the GoM has extended an invitation to all the colleges and institutions for comprehensive discussions on the pending issues and explore ways for their redressal on January 19. The minister further said the colleges and institutions have been given three days to release degrees to the students. “The meeting would also brainstorm about the ways and means to settle the pending liabilities of three years,” Manpreet said, adding that releasing of degrees within the stipulated three days’ period would be a pre-requisite for the institutions to attend the meeting.
