NEW DELHI: Students in Kerala will now be able to earn for 90 days a year while they learn. The Kerala Cabinet on Thursday, February 5, decided to implement a policy that allows students aged 18-25 to earn honoraria through part-time work while they study. “Work as you study” is part of the chief minister’s 12-point development programme. The state government will take a time-bound action plan for this, an official statement said.
The scheme aims to involve government departments, local bodies, public and private enterprises. Students will be allowed to work part-time, following a schedule that does not hamper their studies, the statement said. However, the statement does not specify the level of study of students who can opt for this.
The state cabinet also decided to allow the agencies and establishments that implement this programme to earmark 15 percent of their expenditure on wages to pay honoraria to these students. The Department of Labour and Skills will be the nodal agency for implementing it.
