- If a Hindu or Muhammadan girl obtains a primary or middle scholarship and is unable to attend any recognised school owing to the customs obtaining in Bihar or to the circumstances of the particular class to which the scholar belongs or to distance from any suitable school, then if the scholar still prosecutes her studies to a higher stage and submits to a half-yearly examination to be held by the District Inspectress of Schools, she may draw the scholarship for the six months previous to each such examination, provided that the examiner is satisfied with her progress.(R. & O. page 401, F.E.C. Report.)Note. - 'Where the District Education Officer is satisfied that the village in which a lower primary scholar lives is so situated that the District Inspectress of Schools cannot visit it every six months, without seriously interrupting her other work or for any other reason, she may request the Sub-divisional Education Officer to conduct the examination (either personally or through the medium of the Deputy Inspector of Schools or Sub-Inspector of School appointed by him) if the parents have no objection.
