'Three Kendriya Vidyalaya proposals approved', HRD Minister says in interaction with Press 

Union HRD Minister, Sh. Prakash Javadekar announced the approval of three Kendriya Vidyala proposals, during an informal interaction with the media persons today. The Minister also received the feedback from the media regarding the performance of the ministry and education sector, appreciating the immense experience of the media professionals in covering the ministry of Human Resource Development. 

The Minister briefed the press about the approval of three Kendriya Vidyalaya proposals. It was decided to open new Kendriya Vidyalaya in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh (Railway Coach Factory) as well as in Takenpur, Madhya Pradesh (BSF Academy). It was also decided to adjust timings in the already functional Kendriya Vidyalaya in Piliphit, Uttar Pradesh to enable classes for Std XI considering the space constraints of the KV. 

On NEET, the Minister clarified as follows

1.In case a candidate appeared in NEET-I and applied for NEET-II but not paid the fee, his candidature for NEET-II will not be considered as he has not submitted the fee and thus, his form has not been submitted successfully. The registration issued to any candidate is basically a unique number which is issued to all candidates who registers with the system. In the above case, result of NEET-I will be considered

2.In case, a candidate appeared in NEET-I and applied for NEET-II successfully but could not appear in NEET-II, such cases will be placed before the Oversight Committee for consideration of their NEET-I result. 

3.Any other case which will come to the notice will also be placed before the Oversight Committee for taking final decisions.

Earlier the Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in the Union Budget for 2015-16 inter-alia had proposed to set-up a fully IT based Student Financial Aid Authority to administer and monitor Scholarship as well as Educational Loan Schemes, through the Pradhan Mantri Vidya Lakshmi Karyakram (PMVLK) to ensure that no student misses out on higher education for lack of funds. The launch of the aforesaid Portal is a first step towards achieving this objective,

Vidya Lakshmi Portal is a first of its kind portal providing single window for Students to access information and make application for Educational Loans provided by Banks as also Government Scholarships. The Portal has the following features:

·         Information about Educational Loan Schemes of Banks;
·         Common Educational Loan Application Form for Students;
·         Facility to apply to multiple Banks for Educational Loans;
·         Facility for Banks to download Students’ Loan Applications;
·         Facility for Banks to upload loan processing status;
·         Facility for Students to email grievances/queries relating to Educational  
·         Loans to Banks;
·         Dashboard facility for Students to view status of their loan application and   
·         Linkage to National Scholarship Portal for information and application for

So far, 13 Banks have registered 22 Educational Loan Schemes on the Vidya Lakshmi Portal and 5 Banks viz; SBI, IDBI Bank, Bank of India, Canara Bank & Union Bank of India have integrated their system with the Portal for providing loan processing status to students. This initiative aims to bring on board all Banks providing Educational Loans. It is expected that students throughout the country will be benefited by this initiative of the Government by making available a single window for access to various Educational Loan Schemes of all Banks.
