Imphal, October 18 2011:
United Tribal College Students' Union (UTCSU) has demanded release of the arrear of Post-Matric Scholarship of ST students for the period 2010 .
In a representation submitted to the Commissioner and the Director of Tribal development, President of UTCSU T Moses alleged that the state government has not given any attention to the plight of the tribal students in Manipur, although the Centre has been giving utmost attention on the problems of tribal and other backward classes.
The arrear of the Post-Matric Scholarship for the period 2010 had been released by the Centre and the State Finance department had also given its concurrence in July 2011 .
However, even after a gap of three months, the tribal students have not been provided the benefit, thus compelling them to wonder whether the amount had been diverted, the representation observed, while drawing the attention of the all concerned over the matter.
