The Andhra Pradesh Government will ensure crediting of post-matric scholarship to over 26 lakh students into the bank accounts online every month from the new academic year.
A decision to this effect was taken by Chief Minister K Rosaiah at the two-day collector's conference, Revenue Minister D Prasada Rao told reporters later.
The government also decided to provide pension to all disabled persons online, he said.
While students pursuing professional courses would get over Rs 950 per month, each student would get a minimum of Rs 320 and a maximum of Rs 950 as scholarship every month depending on the course they pursue.
Rao said the District Collectors were asked to ensure that 13 lakh students whose application for scholarship were pending, be paid before this month end.
