SRINAGAR: Minister for Education Syed Altaf Bukhari on Wednesday urged students to avail benefits of Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS) and called for its effective implementation for the larger good of the students of the State.
He said this during an awareness-camp cum workshop organised by Higher Education Department at SKICC here.
Minister of State (MoS) for Education Priya Sethi was also present on the occasion.
While highlighting the importance of PMSSS, Bukhari said the scheme is aimed to provide better avenues of obtaining higher education to students, besides preparing them for competing at national level exams.
He said that he will explore all avenues to help out needy students from primary to university level so that financial constraints do not stop brilliant boys and girls from attaining regular education anywhere in the country.
