Kangpokpi, October 27 2014:
The All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) today cautioned all educational institutions in the State to ensure proper care and concern of tribal students in their respective schools in availing pre-matric scholarship under TD Department.
Emboi Serto, President of ATSUM said that most of the educational institutions in the State show little concern for the tribal students who applied for pre-matric scholarship.
He said that only few schools have given information regarding the scholarship to the tribal students.
Serto said that even in some schools tribal students were denied their legitimate right to apply for the scholarship.
Some school Principals or headmasters also refused to sign or forward their recommendation to the students who are applying for the scholarship, pointed out Emboi Serto, while adding that such indifferent attitude and communal treatment would only solicit misunderstanding and sow the seeds of communalism.
He further warned of launching agitation for such uncalled for treatment of tribal students.
