Sword on clothing scholarship bicycle scheme for more than 5 lakh children faces a final deadline as Bihar’s education department has set 28 February to correct student data errors. The Sword on clothing scholarship bicycle scheme for more than 5 lakh children could stop benefits if schools fail to update records on time.
Officials found mistakes in student details on the e-Shiksha Kosh portal across many government schools. These errors involve students from Classes 1 to 10 and directly affect clothing grants, scholarships and bicycle benefits.
The department earlier fixed 15 February as the last date but later extended it to 28 February. Authorities want schools to ensure that no eligible child loses financial support.
Common errors include wrong names, incorrect Aadhaar numbers, spelling mistakes in parents’ names and inaccurate dates of birth. Teachers and school staff are now reviewing records and updating the portal quickly.
Education officials have urged district officers to monitor the process closely and complete corrections before the deadline.
