BCCI president Roger Binny disqualified by age rule but fate linked to parliament's next move
BCCI president Roger Binny is facing disqualification after turning 70 on July 19. However, Binny could get another chance to continue thanks to the proposed National Sports Bill, which seeks to raise the age limit to 75. Rajeev Shukla may step in as interim chief until a final decision is made. read more Roger Binny, the current president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), turned 70 on July 19. His birthday has created a big question mark over his future as BCCI chief. According to the BCCI constitution, which was approved by the Supreme Court, any office-bearer who turns 70 cannot continue in the post. Meanwhile, a PTI report has suggested that BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla could take over as the interim president. However, the BCCI's Annual General Meeting (AGM) is in September and it is being said that Binny might continue as a caretaker president until then before a final decision on his successor is taken.

This Bill reportedly proposes to increase the maximum age limit for office-bearers of all National Sports Federations from 70 to 75 years. If the Bill is passed, people aged between 70 and 75 will be allowed to contest elections and hold posts, as long as international rules or concerned body's bye-laws don't stop them. The International Cricket Council (ICC) currently has no age restrictions, so it won't be a problem for the BCCI if the Bill is passed and made into a law. It will allow Roger Binny to continue as BCCI president for another term without any legal hurdles.

Meanwhile, the report also suggested that Binny is planning to talk to BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and the board's legal team to explore his options. As of now, the BCCI has not issued any official statement regarding the matter. Binny was recently seen at the Lord's during the third Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England. Reports claim that the 1983 World Cup-winning bowler is currently holidaying in Thailand with his family.

No plan to scrap post-matric scholarship for ST/SC students: Centre
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The Centre has said there is no proposal to discontinue the Post-Matric Scholarship scheme for Scheduled Tribe or Scheduled Caste students. There have been concerns about whether the scheme will continue beyond 2025-26. In a written response in Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale said the objective of the scheme is to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of SC and ST students in higher education and that there is no plan to scrap the scheme. Both schemes are currently being implemented with funding and eligibility parameters approved by the Cabinet and Expenditure Finance Committee, which remain valid from financial year 2021-22 to 2025-26. The Centre-State funding patterns differ for SC and ST students. For SC students, the cost-sharing ratio is 60:40 between the Centre and the states, except for the North-Eastern states, where it is 90:10. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment releases the central share directly to students' Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts via the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), but only after the state has disbursed its 40 per cent share. For ST students, the fund-sharing ratio stands at 75:25 between the Centre and the states. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs releases 75 per cent of the amount to state governments or Union Territories, which then contribute the remaining 25 per cent and transfer the full amount to students via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in a single instalment.
