CBI to Investigate scholarship scam

Rs.100-150 Crore Scam in Education Sector

This one is the Latest Education Scam in India. The CBI will investigate the multi-crore scholarship scam in the Education Department. Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had earlier assured that the matter would be thoroughly probed and could be handed over to the CBI. The scam was unearthed following reports that students of government schools in Spiti had not been paid scholarships for the past five years. Preliminary inquiry revealed that Rs 100-150 crore was involved in the mega scam. “Ineligible candidates were given admissions and fake bank accounts were opened for the payment of scholarships, but the scam remained hidden as the people, who created the online portal for amount disbursement and those who actually transferred the money, were the same,” Secretary (Education) Arun Kumar Sharma said.

FAKE BANK ACCOUNTS WERE OPENED

■The scholarship scam was unearthed two months ago.

■ Ineligible candidates were given admissions and fake bank accounts were opened.

■There are reports of discrimination in releasing the amount at the departmental level.

■ Some employees dealing with the matter have been shifted, it is learnt.

Some accounts were tracked in Haryana, while a few in Karnataka were under the scanner. “Spiti is not the only area where the scholarship amount has not been paid and there are reports of discrimination at the departmental level.

“The scam remained hidden as the people, who created the online portal for amount disbursement and those who actually transferred the money, were the same”, said by Arun Kumar Sharma, SECY(EDUCATION).

Some employees dealing with the matter have been shifted,” sources in the Education Department said. The discrepancy came to light during the review of various schemes of the Education Department. Cabinet Minister Ram Lal Markanda, who is also the Lahaul-Spiti MLA, took up the matter with government officials. Taking serious note of the complaints, the government directed the Director, Higher Education, to probe whether the schemes had been adequately publicised and the beneficiaries were aware of these and those who got the scholarships were genuine scholars covered under the respective schemes.

Latest Government News 

New Delhi, September 18: The Centre government of India today said that the state-owned named as Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank would be merged to create the country’s third largest lender. The move follows top lender State Bank of India last year merging with itself five of its subsidiary banks and taking over Bharatiya Mahila Bank, a niche staterun lender for women.

The Finance Minister of India  Mr. Arun Jaitley said that the merger would make the banks stronger and sustainable as well as increase their lending ability. Finance Minister of India said in his statement that the bank lending was becoming weak day by day, hurting corporate sector funds. In his another statement he also said that the many banks were in a fragile condition due to excessive lending and ballooning NPAs.

As was in case of SBI, no employee would have service conditions adverse to present one. Centre Government of India also owns the majority stakes in 21 lenders, which account for more than two-thirds of banking assets. Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar said boards of the three banks would examine the proposal. While the employees’ interest would be protected, brand equity would be preserved.

Supreme Court Stays Order On declaration of SSC CGL, CHSL 2017 Exam Results

Supreme Court stays On declaration of SSC 2017 results

1^st Sept. 2018: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the declaration of results of Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Examination 2017, saying prima facie the entire system appeared to be tainted.

A Bench of Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao stayed the declaration of results of Combined Graduate Level Examination and Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination after perusing a status report filed in a sealed cover by the CBI, which is investigating allegations of corruption in SSC examinations.

CALLS ENTIRE TEST TAINTED

■The Supreme Court on Friday said it appeared from the first look that the entire test was tainted

■It observed that it cannot permit people to benefit from the "tainted" 2017 Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level and senior secondary level examination and get into service

■Advocates Prashant Bhushan and Govind Jee, appearing for petitioner Shantanu Kumar, alleged that the CBI in its first status report had itself admitted that the custodian of the examination paper had leaked the paper.

The Bench — which is seized of a PIL highlighting corruption, leakage of question papers, use of remote access software for solving papers and screen-sharing of candidates’ computer terminal to unknown persons — said the status report spoke volumes about the illegalities committed and the role of SIFY, its content head, students involved. Remote sharing of the server had been admitted, it noted.

The petition demanded a court-monitored probe and setting up of an expert panel to suggest systematic changes in SSC examination system to plug the loopholes.

The SSC conducts examinations for recruitment to various group B non-gazetted posts and group C non-technical posts in the government. It also selects candidates for group B gazetted posts of assistant accounts officer and assistant audit officer for the Indian Audit and Accounts Department. The CBI FIR alleged that among others, one SP Gupta, the content head of SIFY, the vendor of SSC examination was involved in it.

In 2017, the SSC conducted an online exam for Combined Graduate Level Tier-I examination in August. The candidate who made it to the cut-off list of Tier-I exam appeared for online combined graduate level Tier-II Exam in February 2018.

Reserved Category SC/STs Candidates Can Not Claim Reservation Benefit in 2 States of India- APEX COURT

SC/STs can’t claim reservation benefit in 2 states: Apex court

New Delhi, August 30, 2018: Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates from one state can’t claim benefit of reservation in government jobs in other states. A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi held that a person belonging to SC/ST in one state could not be deemed to be an SC/ST in another state where he might have migrated for employment or education. The Bench said the following statement, “If a person notified as a SC candidate in the state A than he cannot claim the same status in another state on the basis that he is declared as SC in state A.”

The Bench said another statement related to this context which is as follow, “If in the opinion of a state it is necessary to extend the benefit of reservation to a class/category of SC/ST beyond those specified in the lists for that particular state, constitutional discipline would require the state to make its views in the matter prevail with the central authority so as to enable an appropriate parliamentary exercise to be made by an amendment of the Lists of SC/ST for that particular state”.

“Unilateral action by states on the touchstone of Article 16(4) of the Constitution could be a possible trigger point of constitutional anarchy and, therefore, must be held to be impermissible under the Constitution,” the top court said. Another issue before the Bench was whether SC/ST candidates of other states could seek quota in government jobs in Delhi.

With a majority of 4:1, the Bench held that so far as Delhi is concerned, the central reservation policy regarding SC/ST would be applicable here. It ruled that Pan India Reservation Rule in force in National Capital Territory of Delhi was in accordance with the constitutional scheme relating to services under the Union and the States/UTs. Justice Banumathi, however, delivered a dissenting verdict on central reservation policy in Delhi.
