Ccpur, November 10 2018:
The delay in disbursing pre-matric scholarship for minorities despite repeated assurances have drawn criticism from parents in general and the All Churachandpur District Pre-Matric Scholarship for Minorities Applicants Schools Association in particular, as the Government has yet again failed to honour its September 2018 assurance.
Lamenting the Government for its failure to disburse the necessary funds for 2013-14 and 2014-15 despite finalising all formalities and regardless of the fact that Director MOBC has during an interaction held at City Convention Centre, Imphal on September 2018 assured a disbursement within October, a statement issued by the association called on the Chief Minister who is also in-charge of MOBC to look into the matter immediately.
At a time when the Government is launching the 'Go to Village' scheme to reach out to the unreached, failure to honour the due scholarships to minority students did not go down well with the parents.
The statement signed by Salam Ibungo Singh and Lienzom Gangte therefore, urged the Chief Minister to intervene before the issue snowballs into another major issue.
