In response to the ongoing challenges faced by the people of Manipur, including the disruption of students’ studies, Royal Global University has launched the ‘Hope for Manipur Scholarship’. This special humanitarian scholarship aims to support students and families affected by the recent violence in the state, ensuring that education remains uninterrupted and accessible to these unfortunate students.
The ‘Hope for Manipur Scholarship’ offers a complete waiver of admission fees for students from violence-affected families in Manipur. Eligible students who secure admission to any undergraduate or postgraduate programme at Royal Global University and can provide evidence of financial need are encouraged to apply. This initiative is part of the university’s broader campaign, “Northeast Can’t Wait. Padho! Kuch Bano.” For Manipur, this campaign has been termed “Manipur Can’t Wait Even in Tough Times.”
Dr. AK Pansari, Chancellor of Royal Global University, stated, “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 this initiative is 12-year-old climate activist Licypriya Kangujam from Manipur, who has been a global voice for climate action. “I am proud to support Royal Global University’s ‘Hope for Manipur Scholarship.’ Education is a powerful tool for change, and it is crucial that we stand together to support students in my home state during these tough times,” said Licypriya.
Shri Utpal Kanta, Director of Growth & Strategy at Royal Global University, emphasized the importance of this scholarship: “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.”
