The State Government makes a provision to fund these schemes in the State Budget i.e. 50% of the total cost and then submits the proposals to Ministry for release of 50% matching share. The question of number of hostels and Ashram Schools proposed to be set up by the Government during the next year depends upon the proposals received from the State Government during next year.
