|November 06, 2024
The Bengal government's fund assistance meant to equip the students with tablets got routed to West Midnapore schools by mistake, bypassing some East Burdwan pupils.
The matter was taken up by cyber police.
Under the Taruner Swapna scheme, the West Bengal government facilitates the students of Classes XI & XII to connect their studies with technology.
Each student is provided a financial assistance of Rs 10,000 for buying tablets.
The fund assistance is directly routed to the bank accounts of the beneficiary students.
