In response to the ongoing challenges faced by the people of Manipur, the Royal Global University, Northeast India's own Global University, has launched the "Hope for Manipur Scholarship".
The special humanitarian scholarship aims to support the students and families affected by the recent violence in Manipur ensuring that education remains uninterrupted and accessible to these unfortunate students, said a statement.
The scholarship offers a complete waiver of the Admission Fees for the students from the violence-affected families of Manipur.
Eligible students who secure admission to any undergraduate or postgraduate program at Royal Global University and who can provide evidence for the need of financial aid may apply for the scholarship.
The initiative is part of the university's broader campaign, "Northeast Can't Wait.
Padho! Kuch Bano".
For Manipur, this campaign has been rechristened as, "Manipur Can't Wait Even in Tough Times".
Dr AK Pansari, Chancellor of Royal Global University, said, "Education is a beacon of hope and a trajectory for a brighter future.
Through the 'Hope for Manipur Scholarship,' we aim to provide financial relief and a supportive environment for students whose lives have been disrupted by violence.
Our commitment is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to pursue their academic dreams without hindrance".
Supporting the initiative, climate activist Licypriya Kangujam said, "Education is a powerful tool for change, and it is crucial that Royal Global University has introduced the 'Hope for Manipur Scholarship' to support the violence-affected students of Manipur".
"The recent events in Manipur have deeply affected many families.
Our goal with this scholarship is to provide not just financial assistance, but also hope and succour to the students.
We are dedicated to transforming lives through education", said Utpal Kanta, Director of Growth & Strategy at Royal Global University.
The "Hope for Manipur Scholarship" is designed to offer a lifeline to those students whose educational pursuits have been disrupted and threatened by violence.
It aims to create a safe and nurturing environment where they can continue their studies and build a brighter future.
