Punjab Rights Commission Seeks Review of Financial Aid for Meritorious Medical Students
The Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) has directed the state government to review the feasibility of establishing guidelines for financial aid to meritorious students facing economic hardship, especially those admitted to medical courses after clearing NEET. The commission sought detailed information on the Chief Minister Scholarship Scheme's applicability to MBBS students in government and private institutions, including those admitted under government quota seats. This action follows concerns about access to professional education for financially disadvantaged students.
