In the Punjab district of Sangrur, claims of large‑scale irregularities in school enrolments and attendance records have led to a formal complaint before the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC). According to the allegations, scholarship, food fund and school grant money was claimed using names of students who were not actually attending school or had already left.

Commission Chair Kishor Makwana confirmed to India Today that the NCSC had received the complaint and would take “the strictest action.” He also accused the AAP government of jeopardising the future of SC students in the state and of harassing SC professors.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that if these claims are verified, they could undermine public trust in Punjab’s education policy and raise serious questions about the integrity of welfare schemes aimed at SC communities.

“Lack of transparency in such cases erodes the very foundation of social justice,” says education policy expert Dr. R. Patel.
Did You Know? In 2024, only 15% of Punjab’s scholarship funds reached actual students, highlighting the severity of potential fraud.
