The Department of School Education in Tamil Nadu has issued a circular to all schools, instructing them to ensure that each student has a bank account for the direct disbursement of government scholarships. This initiative targets students from class 1 to class 12 to prevent dropouts and promote continued education.
To facilitate timely and direct scholarship payments, the department plans to implement a system that deposits funds directly into students` bank accounts. Schools have been directed to oversee the account-opening process, with headmasters and principals supervising the efforts in their respective localities.
