Uttar Pradesh Government to Bear Entire Fee for IIT Dhanbad Student
Uttar Pradesh is planning to register all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), and other premier institutes with its Department of Social Welfare to provide scholarships to students. The first to be registered will be the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Dhanbad, which was directed to admit Atul Kumar (18), the son of a daily wager from Muzaffarnagar's Titora village. The Uttar Pradesh government has announced that it will bear Kumar's entire fee through scholarship. The state government plans to help all students like Kumar and will write to all such institutes of national importance, including IITs and IIMs, located outside the state for registration to enable seamless scholarship disbursement to all eligible candidates from the state who get admitted in these institutes. The Department of Social Welfare is the nodal department for all scholarships and framing rules for it. Arun has also issued a "free-ship card" to Kumar, allowing eligible students to enrol in an institution and secure zero-balance admission.
