Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

The minority status accorded to Jain community by the Union government is expected to benefit a number of students who come from economically weaker sections, especially in rural areas in the State. Now, Jain students whose family annual income is less than Rs. 2.5 Lacs are eligible for scholarship given by the State government, which recognises Jains as minority community. But with national minority status accorded by Union government, this limit goes up to Rs. 4.5 Lacs, under Centrally-sponsored scholarships. One of the biggest benefits from the minority status will be in the education sector both for students as well institutions run by Jains. Students from our community will now have access to a number of Central scholarships, which were hitherto not available to us, said Jitendra Jain, president of Karnataka Jain Association.
