Modifications in system of filing application under “oasis.gov.in”.

Backward Classes Welfare Department, Government of West Bengal has introduced a system of “Online Application for Scholarship in Studies” for seeking scholarships under different educational schemes from this year. An estimated 12 to 13 lakh students belonging to SC, ST and OBC are expected to get the benefit under these scheme. The last date for receiving the application was fixed at 15-11-2013.

For applying online for scholarships holding a Caste Certificate has been made mandatory. But it has come to the notice that a large number of students have not yet procured caste certificate and hence cannot apply for scholarship online. As a result till date only 4.6 lakh applications have been filed till upto 25-10-2013 and the figure is low compared to the expected number. Many prospective applications have Filled applications for ’Caste Certificates’ also but have not yet received certificates and therefore unable to apply for scholarship.

1. Except for the Districts of Howrah and Coochbehar where DBT is being introduced, possessing Caste Certificate by the applicant has been made optional. However filling of application for caste certificate and enclosing the acknowledgement slip/ receipt thereof with the hard copy of application for scholarship shall be mandatory. In Howrah and Coochbehar, possessing ’Caste Certificate’ will continue to remain mandatory;

2. The last date for submission of online application has been extended upto 15-12-2013.

In this connection instructions may be sent to all Block Development Officers to process all the filed applications for finalization of the list of beneficiaries of scholarships.
