Bengal doubles paltry schoolgirl scholarship to ₹2k. Real change demands more than token gestures.
FO Take · Score 15
Another government scheme, another missed opportunity. Doubling a minuscule scholarship to ₹2k for schoolgirls by 2027 is an insult, not an investment. This performative gesture barely covers a textbook, let alone unlocks genuine educational potential. Stop pretending small sums create systemic equity. When will we fund futures, not just headlines?
The strongest counter
Every rupee helps. Even small scholarships encourage school attendance and provide essential resources for underprivileged girls. This move, however modest, signifies a commitment to female education.
