Research scholars from Scheduled Tribe communities across the country have reported months-long delays and irregularities in the disbursement of funds under the National Fellowship for Scheduled Tribes (NFST), a scholarship programme administered by the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, reports @al_lakshman

Last month, I wrote to the Secretary of the Union Ministry of @TribalAffairsIn highlighting the alarming issue of severe under-allocation and delays in the disbursal of funds under the National Fellowship for Higher Education and National Overseas Scholarship for ST students. Today, the same concern has been reported in the newspapers.
I urge the Union Government to resolve this issue at the earliest, as thousands of tribal scholars depend on timely support. I will continue to follow up until the issue is resolved.

Release our rightful fellowship. We are not able to proceed with our research with our fellowship being delayed over 7 months now #ReleaseNFSTfellowship

NFST scholars’ requests are still pending. Despite several appeals, the voices of NFST fellows remain unheard. It’s time for the Ministry to act and ensure timely fellowship disbursement @TribalAffairsIn@jualoram@thewire_in@the_hindu@IndianExpress
We are in dire need of officers like IPS Anjana Krishna. If we do not stand with such officers today, then no officer will ever take a stand in front of politicians.

@nehafolksinger@TheLallantop Ma'am please rise voice about our NFST FELLOWSHIP REGARDS till now we face financial difficulties and not working properly our research work due to delayed fellowship disbursement by ministry of tribal affairs.
We are waiting almost one year upto admission.
So please ma'am
It’s disheartening that thousands of @IndiaDST Women Scientists are again struggling for their funds.
How can they focus on research while battling financial & personal hardships, despite their dedication to innovation? #ReleaseFunds4WOSAWisePDF@karandi65@DrJitendraSingh

NFST scholars have repeatedly requested @TribalAffairsIn to release their fellowships,but the plea remains unheard. Irregular fellowship disbursement is a major hardship. A clear policy for timely release is urgently needed @jualoram@thewire_in@the_hindu
