I received a state government scholarship in June 2014, but my college held the money for 7 months. When I finally got it, they deducted ₹1,000 from the ₹60,000 scholarship. Now, the college is threatening to ruin my reputation if I ask about the missing money. What should I do?

You have the right to inquire about the missing scholarship amount and the deduction. You can approach the college administration in writing, and if they fail to respond or provide a satisfactory explanation, you can escalate the issue to the relevant state education department or the consumer forum.
