National Commission for Scheduled Castes chief Vijay Sampla today asked Punjab to ensure immediate release of roll numbers to 2 lakh SC students in private colleges.

Do your duty
It’s the duty of the state to ensure SC students do not face any hardship. – Vijay Sampla, NCSC Chief

The Joint Association of Colleges had announced that the roll numbers were being withheld as the Punjab Government had failed to reimburse SC post-matric scholarship funds amounting to Rs 1,549 crore. The amount pertains to the 2017-18 to 2019-20 period. —TNS
