In a bid to encourage research scholars, the University Grants Commission has hiked the basic fellowship amount and scholarships from Monday.
For Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) the revised amount would be Rs 25,000 per month from the earlier Rs 16,000 and in case of Senior Research Fellowship (SRF), scholars would now get Rs 28,000 per month from the earlier amount of Rs 18,000.
Earlier in the day, the Rajya Sabha was informed about the revision in grants by HRD Minister Smriti Irani. She said the hike in JRF and SRF in basic sciences will be on par with the similar fellowship amount disbursed by Department of Science and Technology.
