College and University students who want to avail benefit under the Central Sector Scholarship Scheme will have to furnish proof of possession of Aadhaar card or undergo Aadhaar authentication.
Union Human Resource Development Ministry, HRD ministry notification issued in New Delhi Friday said those who are receiving these scholarships but don’t have an Aadhar card will have to apply for enrolment by June 30th. It is, however, not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to officials, the move brings in transparency and enables beneficiaries get entitlements directly to them in a convenient and seamless manner and Aadhaar obviates the need for producing multiple documents to prove identity.
