Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), has started Covid crisis scholarship scheme under its functional areas to provide financial support to students, whose parents died of COVID-19, said a senior CCL official. COVID-19 pandemic has caused hundreds of school and college going students to become orphans in the coal region, which falls under the operational command area of CCL, and are unable to afford educational expenses.

CCL has extended financial support to help them to continue their education under its corporate social responsibility scheme, the official said.
