Patna, (Bihar Times): Chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday announced the scrapping of more than two decades old Unaided Education Policy in Bihar. Teachers of a large number of unaided colleges have been making this demand for the last many years.

Making this announcement in the state assembly soon after the Zero Hour and later in the legislative council he said the state government was committed to the development of human resources and for this several schemes had been introduced. Nitish said the unaided educational institutions with satisfactory performance would be given financial aid from the government which was keen on providing quality-based education to the students.

Nitish, however, said condition of the unaided educational institutions would be reviewed before the sanctioning of grants. The chief minister also announced relaxation of the laid standards for sanctioning of the grants to the unaided women’s educational institutions. He expressed pleasure to end the prolonged issue of the unaided educational institutions saying that it was in the interest of the state.

However, not all the unaided colleges would be benefited by the new announcement as many of them now
virtually cease to exists, especially after the new policy under which the Inter education would be imparted in the Plus-II schools. Many of these colleges used to impart only under-graduate courses and in many others the graduate students are only a handful in number.
