Sikshashree Scholarship :
Scheme: “Sikshashree” for SC students studying in Class V to VIII

Preamble :
Presently day-scholar students of class V-VIII belonging to Scheduled Caste category enjoys two grants namely a) Assistance in the form of Book Grant and b) Assistance in the form of Maintenance Grant. The amount of such grants is meager and do not serve the intended purpose. Further the method of selection of candidates and that of disbursement is cumbersome and time consuming.

To do away with these predicaments inherent in the scheme and to provide quality assistance to SC students of Classes V to VIII in a smooth, transparent and efficient way a new scheme of providing assistance to the target group is being formulated in the name of “Sikshashree”.

Origin :
‘Sikshashree’ scheme of providing assistance to SC day-scholars of Class V-VIII is evolved by merging the existing schemes of Book Grant and Maintenance Grant. It is applicable to the day scholars of West Bengal reading in class V-VIII in any Government, Government and all Government recognized schools of West Bengal.

Objective :
The objective of the scheme is to provide financial assistance to the SC students reading in classes V to VIII to improve their participation in Pre-matric stages and minimize the incidence of drop-out especially in case of girl students.

Conditions of Eligibility:

He/she should be a holder of a bank account in a nationalized bank with core banking facility.

Scholarship for studying in any class will be available for only one year. If a student has to repeat a class, he/she would not get scholarship for that class for a second year.

3. Class – VII Rs 700/-

Modalities of the scheme :
In order to ensure timely payment of scholarship a distinct plan of action needs to be drawn up. A broad outline is attempted below.

1. PO-cum-DWO should hold a two tier meeting one with the Lead Bank officer and another with the BDOs to apprise them of the scheme with an accent on the need to open bank accounts by the applicants. The meeting should be held preferably in presence of District Magistrate.

2. The tasks involved in this scheme are precisely cut out.
A) The application forms should be made available to the students through the schools.
B) The students should be made to open bank accounts.
C) The concerned school and the Nodal Officer should facilitate filling up of the applications by the students.

D) Schools shall receive the applications, scrutiny them along with Nodal Officer, compile them in the format (see annexure and in excel format) and submit the compilation sheet to the block office. Individual applications shall be retained by the school till it is requisitioned by the block office. In the meeting as mentioned in para 1, BDOs should be explicitly requested to entrust the Inspectors/ Addl. Inspectors and other Extension officers with these tasks vis-à-vis specific schools in the block. These entrusted officers will be named as “Nodal Officer Sikshashree _____ School.” Consequently these will be the precise responsibility points of the ‘Nodal Officer Sikshashree’.

E) The head of the Institution and the ‘Nodal Officer Sikshashree’ shall record a certificate on the body of`` the compilation sheet - “Certified that due diligence have been exercised in securing the applications and in their compilation. No eligible students have been left out from the ambit of this scheme. The DoB are as per the admission register of the school’’ and submit the same to the block office. On receipt of the compilation sheet the block shall verify ten percent of the cases as sample and will issue Entitlement card to the students who will endorse the same during their next year’s application.

F) After verification of data base by the block office this will be forwarded to P.O-cum- DWO/DWO who will transfer funds through National Electronic Fund Transfer directly to the students account in accordance with the budgetary allotment. This database may be forwarded to the State after the closure of a financial Year.
