 Allocation of Development Funds and Scholarships

44. Assurances on the allocation of development funds were most welcome. The Committee endorsed the principle that the amount should not depend on the size of the State but on priorities, so that the less developed State would get a greater share of such funds. In regard to the Federal and Colombo Plan scholarships, candidates would be selected on a fair basis depending on merits. State scholarships would remain purely a State matter. Account will be taken in the allocation of Federal, Colombo Plan and other overseas scholarships and training facilities of the need to narrow the gap in educational and technical standards amongst people in various States.
