At present, students of the Brahmin community get aid only under the economically weaker category quota.
Pawar said, “The government will ensure that the corporation would not face financial problems and will provide adequate funds.”
MP Medha Kulkarni and PEDC president Ashish Damle attended the function.
As Pawar had to attend many events on the occasion of Maharashtra Day, he inaugurated the office at 6.20pm before the scheduled time of 6.30pm. As Kulkarni arrived at 6.24pm, the deputy chief minister had to open it again.
