In a recent count of students across the city around 1.2 lakh student were found to be non exisiting. Similarly in nanded district there were 1 lakh students which were bogus. The total fraud in Nanded district was alone around Rs. 1000 crores.
The statistics are quite shocking during the counting of students in whole of Maharashtra around 19 lakh students were found to be bogus. There by making a swindle of funds to the tune of Rs. 2565 crs approx. Which is state's total 10% of budget spent on education. The official from the education department said,
As per the education minister even if the total number of sham students out of 19 lakh expected to be bogus it will be a huge figure in terms of grants this institutes receive. The annual budge of State governement towards education is Rs. 27,500 crores, which means atleast 10% of this budget goes down the pockets of corruption in the system.
While counting of this students the governement took help of district officials and imposed sec 144. Where in it was earlier found that children were ferried from other districts during census in order to manage the count. The government also used ink so that the same student is not counted twice.
The numbers from yavatmal district are still pending.

"Even while granting school authorities a small leeway of about 3-4 per cent for discrepancies, officials are finding it hard to believe that as many as 19 lakh students of the official 2.01 crore total were genuine absentees" on the condition of anonymity.
