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.

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

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
With due respect, we request @EduMinOfIndia to address the long delay in #NFST fellowship. Scholars research progress is on hold without this crucial support. Kindly release the fellowship at the earliest @TribalAffairsIn#ReleaseNFSTfellowship
