Imphal, December 14 2022:
Enraged over non-disbursal of pending OBC scholarship amount and end of last date for submission of application form for OBC scholarship for the year 2022-23 while admission processes are yet to be completed, students of Manipur University staged protest in front of main gate of the varsity on Wednesday.
A student who joined the protest told media persons that students pursuing higher studies are facing problems as the government does not release scholarship amount in time and appealed to the government to release scholarship at the earliest possible.
Delaying disbursement of scholarship amount for a long time is against the interrest of students and the present government seems to be unaware of education sector as well as students who are the pillars of future generation, the student lamented and appealed to the government to distribute scholarship amount at the earliest.
The student also warned of launching different forms of agitation if the government remains silent on the matter.
