PORVORIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today informed the House that the state government does not provide grant-in-aide to technical colleges.
However, the Sawant government has introduced a DJ-GIFT scheme that provides equal fee benefits to all students in the field.
MLA Nilesh Cabral raised the issue of grants-in-aid for government teachers at all engineering colleges.

“Additionally, he mentioned that there is no compulsory 15-year residence requirement for recruitment in both private and government colleges,” said Cabral.
CM responding to MLA Cabral said that the Government does not provide grants-in-aid to technical colleges and as many as 50% of seats are vacant in pvt technical colleges due to high semester fees.
“Government introduced DJ-Gift scheme that provides equal fee benefit to all students in the field,” he added.
