Imphal, July 23 2016 :
The Directorate of Tribal Affairs, Hills
and Scheduled Castes issued a notification regarding an intimation
by the Secretary of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt of Manipur
that Aadhaar will be used as identification for all Centrally funded
scholarship schemes so as to facilitate direct timely transfer of Post-
Matric and Pre-Matric scholarships to genuine and deserving tribal
students.
All ST students/parents are informed to obtain Aadhaar
number and to complete seeding with bank account of respective
students.
If Aadhaar is not linked with application form or not
seeded to bank account, it may not be possible to release the fund
and the Department will not be responsible for non-release of fund
on account of non-seeding Aaadhar number with bank accounts.
The students have been informed to contact the officials of
the Department concerned immediately for Aadhar cards without any further delay.
