Ranchi, July 30 -- Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking enhanced Central assistance for pre-matric and post-matric scholarship schemes for students belonging to Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes and minority communities, saying the existing allocation is inadequate to meet the state's requirements.
In his letter, Soren said Jharkhand, with its large population of socially and economically disadvantaged communities, incurs substantial expenditure on scholarship schemes, while the Central allocation falls far short of the state's actual requirement.
