Imphal, June 14 2021:
MOBC scholarship for students should be distributed at the earliest.
All Manipur Muslim Students' Organisation (AMMSO) demanded this in a statement issued today and said non distribution of scholarship for students even after funds were released from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, New Delhi is a clear violation of rights of the students.
Applications were submitted through MOBC Online Scholarship Management System (OSMS) for scholarship.
However, 15000 selected and approved beneficiaries of the scholarship for 2nd phase of 2019 and 2020 have been deprived of the scholarship till date, added the statement.
AMMSO alleged in the statement where all the funds (approximately 10 crores) have been used by the Government.
The student beneficiaries from 2019 2nd phase, which was long before the start of COVID-19 pandemic, and all beneficiaries for 2020 have been denied their scholarships till date.
AMMSO also appealed other students' body and CSOs of the state to look into the matter.
