The Ministry of Education has made Aadhaar and a newly added feature of One Time Registration (OTR) mandatory for application on the National Scholarship Portal, NSP w.e.f the year 2024-25. The Centre has also issued instructions to the nodal officers to sensitise students and parents regarding how to apply afresh for the National Means-cum-merit Scholarships NMMSS and use another new feature of Grievance Redressal Mechanism GRM on the portal.

The call also asked state and UT nodal officers, including SNOs, to give the parents, teachers and students orientation on how to register through OTR for fresh and renewal cases, as the NSP hosts various state-level scholarship schemes. “The SNOs were also asked to educate parents on the registration of the correct name and spelling of the child and their parent’s name and details in the school records as well as in the Aadhaar registry to avoid mismatch at a later stage on NSP,” the school department added.

Aadhaar & Complaint Redressal

While apprising the officers about the features of the Aadhaar payment bridge introduced last year, the director of the DBT Mission, Devendra Kumar said that the payment module in the NSP-NIC is triggered after sanity check. Under the scholarship schemes, the school education department makes disbursement of the scholarships directly through DBT into the account of the beneficiaries. The government officials also sought feedback and suggestions on the grievance redressal system from the states and UTs.

Bio-authentication

It has another added facility of application-based bio-authentication for both students and nodal officers. Underscoring that bio-authentication is instead of demographic authentication, the director of UIDAI said that the amount of scholarship is disbursed only to those accounts that are seeded by Aadhaar at the time of registration and the beneficiary can check his or her Aadhaar seeding status from the NPCI and PFMS portals.
