The Bihar government's post-matriculation scholarship programme for Dalits is under the scanner after only one of 60 scholarships given in 2015 for the session 2012-13 in Nawada district was found 'genuine'. After the National Commission for Scheduled Castes intervened, it was also revealed that five out of the 12 technical institutes where the students were supposed to study were 'untraceable'.
