Students fail to register online for scholarship
Bhiwani, January 11
The new system of mandatory online registration for availing scholarship money has become a major hurdle for Scheduled Caste (SC)/Backward Class (BC) students this time as the website www.haryanawelfareschemes.org failed to accept online applications.
Parveen Kumar, a SC student, told The Tribune: “The state government has invited online applications from the beneficiaries to get post- matric scholarships. I have been trying to fill my application from the past month, but every time I attempt to log in, the website gets clogged.”
Rajesh Kumar, another SC student, said: “The scholarship is being given by the state government for higher studies and the last date to submit the form was December 31, but thousands of students were left left high and dry due to the website.”
He said they had tried to contact the authorities concerned over the phone and through email but to no avail. — TNS
