65k jobless diamond workers seek govt help for kids' school fees
Surat: Forms for about 65,000 children of unemployed diamond artisans seeking school fee assistance were submitted to city schools over the past two months. With the July 23 deadline now over, at least 55,000 parents submitted forms across 300 schools. These forms have now been sent to the District Industries Centre (DIC). Next, officials will scrutinise the forms for eligibility. After this step, the Surat Diamond Association (SDA) will verify if the applicant was employed with the diamond unit mentioned. This employer check is crucial for validating the applications. Once the verification process is completed, the DIC will approach the state govt for a grant. Efforts are underway to expedite the fund allocation under the relevant grant scheme, sources said. The fee-assistance scheme has been praised for helping preserve the education of children from families affected by the slowdown in the diamond industry.
