"Many complaints have arisen this year, but HRD minister Pallam Raju has relaxed the rules of the scheme and improved it further to enable more students of the state to take advantage of this.
"I assure you that every complaint and application is being reviewed and will be addressed," Tharoor said in his address at the convocation of National Institute of Technology, Srinagar at SKICC here.
Several students studying in colleges outside the state under the scheme have claimed that they were asked to pay the fees and other dues or else their admission would be cancelled.
The minister assured the students that the complaints will be addressed saying, "It is also imperative that we understand that the education we provide here aims at nothing less than to prepare our students to compete with the world."
Tharoor, whose wife Sunanda is a Kashmiri, said the Valley holds a special place in his heart and is the crown of the country.
