Almost a year after an investigation by The Indian Express uncovered a pre-Matric scholarship scam in Jharkhand involving fake beneficiaries, official data shows that the number of beneficiaries of the Centrally-funded scheme for poor minority students reduced by more than 85% in the academic year 2020-21. But during the same period, the number of applicants for the pre-Matric scholarship reduced by only 22%.

Amid anxieties over the crackdown on food stalls in Gujarat, especially those selling non-vegetarian food, anguished vendors say that have been left in the lurch. The crackdown on Tuesday was tagged an “anti-encroachment drive”, with authorities seizing carts, chairs and other paraphernalia.

The issue surrounding the Centre’s contentious new farm laws, which prompted over a year of widespread farmer protests, must be resolved to get things back to normal in Punjab, former CM Amarinder Singh said in an Idea Exchange with The Indian Express.
