SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS FROM THE MARATHA AND KUNBI COMMUNITIES TO STUDY ABROAD. MARATHAS ARE CALLED KUNBIS IN THE VIDARBHA REGION
The government’s scholarship scheme is in the name of Sayajirao Gaekwad, a popular ruler from the Maratha community. Under its aegis, 75 meritorious students from both communities will get the opportunity to study abroad. Among the options are a two-year post-graduation program offered by reputed universities in computer science or technology or a PhD offered by various international universities, states a release issued by the chief minister’s office.
“Due to financial constraints, bright students from the Maratha and Kunbi communities are unable to get admission in reputed universities abroad,” “Considering this, the state government has decided that the students taking admission to educational institutes or universities that are listed among the top 200 of QS World University rankings will get the benefit of this scholarship.”
