It is being done away with during the second phase because of the pandemic
The second phase of Jagananna Amma Vodi - 2020-21, scheduled to be launched on January 9, will be implemented with certain relaxation of norms.
In view of the fact that many students could not attend school, partially opened and classes conducted in a graded manner due to the prevailing pandemic, the norm that a student should have minimum 75% attendance in the academic year to benefit from the scheme is being done away with this time.
A G.O. released by the Department of School Education said, regardless of the attendance, mothers of the students would be given the financial assistance of ₹15,000 under the scheme. Of the amount, ₹1,000 would be deducted and deposited in the District Toilet Maintenance Fund and utilised for construction and maintenance of toilets on the school campuses across the State.
