Imphal, March 24 2014:
Asserting that withholding of Post Matric Scholarship amount for OBC and SC students for the last two/three years by MOBC Department tantamount to deprivation of rights of students, All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) has demanded the department to release the due scholarship amount for the students at the earliest and cautioned that the union is all set to launch intense agitation in the interest of student community if the demand is not met.
In a statement, the AMSU said that the Post Matric Scholarship scheme is being sponsored by Central Government to enable poor and needy students to take up higher secondary education but the concerned department has been not honest in implementation of the scheme, just like Mid-Day Meal Scheme which is is also in mess due to corruption.
