HRD Ministry Finalizes Scheme for Interest Subsidy for Education Loans

New Delhi: June 24, 2010

 

Ministry of Human Resource Development has finalized the modalities for implementation of a new Central Scheme to provide full interest subsidy during the period of moratorium on educational loans for students belonging to economically weaker sections (with parental family income from all sources of less than Rs.4.5 lakh annually) from scheduled banks under the Educational Loan Scheme of the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) for pursuing courses of studies in professional/technical streams from recognized institutions in India. The modalities have been finalized in consultation with the Indian Banks' Association. The Scheme is effective for all IBA approved educational loans sanctioned in form of eligible students' in respect of approval course of studies from the academic year 2009-10.

Under the Scheme, proof of income is required to be certified by authorities to be designated by the State Governments. Accordingly, the Ministry has written to all Chief Secretaries of States/Union Territories to intimate the designated authority/authorities (at the District/Sub-District/Block, etc. levels) to the District Level Consultative Committee (DLCC) so that banking authorities at the branch level where students would be approaching for availing the benefit of the scheme would be aware of the same.

All Scheduled member banks of the IBA have also been advised to take necessary action to adopt and implement the Scheme so that the benefits of the Scheme accrue to the eligible students. Canara Bank is the nodal Bank, for the member Banks of IBA, for claiming reimbursement of interests credited to student accounts.

The details of the Scheme as well as the above communications are available on the website of this Ministry at www.education.nic.in.

All eligible students who wish to avail of the benefits of the Scheme are advised to approach the respective bank branch from where they availed of the education loan and complete the necessary formalities including obtaining the certification in respect of annual family income from the competent authority at the Block/Tehsil/District Level, so that the individual student accounts could be credited with the interest due on the Loan for the academic year 2009-10 onwards.

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare                   

Health Ministry Gets Strict on Artificial Ripening of Fruits

New Delhi: June 24, 2010

 

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has asked the state authorities to keep a strict vigil on use of carbide gas for ripening of fruits. Use of carbide gas for ripening of fruits is prohibited under Rule 44 AA of Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules 1955. In a circular to all State Food (Health) authorities the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has stressed the need to take legal action for violation the PFA Rules. The circular also invited attention of the enforcement authorities in the states to the provisions that circumstantial evidence of presence of calcium carbide in godowns/wooden crates/premises kept together with fruits may be evidence for the courts that artificial ripening has been used by the vendor. The FSSAI has also circulated a copy of procedure for detection of acetylene in godown or treatment chamber for detection of artificial ripening of fruits.

 

The Union Minister of State, Health and Family Welfare, Shri Dinesh Trivedi directed the authorities to take up this issue with states. Shri Trivedi took up the issue as it compromises the health of millions of consumers. The minister felt that traders, retailers sometimes even growers, in order to, ensure a regular supply of fruits, much before their due time use all kinds of unscrupulous methods to ripen fruits artificially. It is also a violation of Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules 1955.

 

The implementation of Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and Rules 1955 is entrusted to state authorities. Samples of various food items are taken regularly by the State UT authorities and action is taken in case of any adulteration of food items.
