NCSC Vice-Chairman Arun Halder told reporters after reviewing various schemes, including the scholarship enrolment status, with top officials, that instructions had been given to the departments concerned to take measures to increase the enrolment levels, which were only around 10% at the National Scholarships Portal. “The low enrolment was partly due to the pandemic.
