| Crime Branch registers case for cheating students under PMSSS | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar May 13: Crime Branch Kashmir has formally registered a case for alleged cheating of students by some agencies/NGOs on the pretext of providing benefits to them under Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS).
According to spokesperson, Crime Branch J&K received complaints with allegations that students of J&K have been cheated by extorting their money on the pretext of providing benefits under centrally sponsored Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship scheme (PMSSS).
“Accordingly an enquiry was ordered to investigate into the matter, he added.
During the course of enquiry it came to fore that Govt of India, Ministry of Human Resources Development, had in the year 2011-12 granted five thousand scholarships to the students of J&K for pursuing studies in various institutions of the country. The scholarship was meant for the students of the State who had passed 10+2 from the J&K Board of School Education and CBSE with annual income of their parents not exceeding Rs 4.5 lakh.
Investigations also revealed that some NGOs/consultancies developed nexus with private educational institutions of different states and under the garb of the above scholarship lured candidates and induced them to deposit huge amounts as security deposits. And it was found that the students to whom the admissions were deceitfully granted were not provided any scholarship by MHRD under the Prime Minister’s Scholarship scheme, spokesperson said.
Crime Branch Kashmir has formally registered a case in this regard and investigation has been started to bring the erring persons to the book.
