Maulana Azad Fellowship Scheme

February 6, 2023

Context:

The budget for several other schemes for minorities has been cut by 38% in the financial year 2023-24.

Arguments of the Government:

Since the MANF scheme overlaps with various other fellowship schemes for higher education being implemented by the government and minority students are already covered under such schemes, the government has decided to discontinue the MANF scheme from 2022-23.
