Medziphema, December 1 (MExN): The authorities of SFS Higher Secondary School, Medziphema are informed that uploading of documents for the minority scholarship for both post and pre Matric is not needed if the amount is less than Rs. 50,000 which is very clearly written in English in bold letter in red color, “Scholarship amount less than Rs. 50,000, no need to upload any document. Submit copy of the documents in school/college/ institute.”
While clarifying this in a press release, VLE Common Service Center, Medziphema informed that this year the center has uploaded nearly 400 scholarships forms for students from various schools and colleges.
There is no complain whatsoever from any school, however, the VLE Common Service Center said, “I cannot understand why the authority of this school is insisting that all the documents to be uploaded and returning back the completed forms to the students that on November 29, knowing well that the last date is November 30.”
It also informed that the complete forms along with the acknowledgement slips to the student were submitted way back in October.
However, the “wrong decision” from the School has put both the parents and the students through unnecessary harassments and created a panic like situation. Some worried parents are coming even from far away villages just to get information. Therefore, the VLE added that “should any misfortune happen, the school will be solely responsible.”
Further, it added that students should know that it is not the school that gives the Minority scholarship but it is the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India that select and give these scholarships and the school cannot force the students to do something which is unnecessary. The school also should check the websites and get proper details before giving any information to the students.
