Aided schools get grant after 10 years

MUMBAI: In a major relief to the state's aided schools, the education department has finally disbursed non-salary grant, which was discontinued in 2004. While the decision to resume the grant was taken way back in October 2012, schools received the money only recently and many complained that the amount was not enough.

A committee set up to review the demands to resume the non-salary grant had fixed the amount at 5% of the salary grant according to the 2008-2009 pay scale. "We received the non-salary grant after over 10 years. As the fund is based on the 2008-2009 pay scale, it is only about 3% of the current pay scale based on the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations," said Najma Kazi, principal of Anjuman-I-Islam's Saif Tyabji Girls' High School, Byculla. The state has set aside over Rs 266 crore for the grant.

"The cash-strapped aided schools were largely affected as there wasn't enough money to invest in infrastructure. Some schools could not even appoint enough teachers owing to the lack of funds," said Fr Francis Swamy, joint secretary, Archdiocesan Board of Education, which governs over 150 schools across the city.

About institutes that have not received the grant yet, deputy director of education N B Chavan said, "Some schools might not have received the fund because they might have provided incorrect account details or are yet to fulfil RTE norms."
