Details
In these challenging times, the Manipur government has launched a vital scheme to help college students get back on track with their education. The Chief Minister’s College Students Rehabilitation Scheme (CMCSRS) is here to support those who have been affected by the ongoing social unrest in the state.
CMCSRS is designed to help undergraduate students continue their studies smoothly. It focuses on providing necessary educational facilities and financial aid to students who have been displaced or affected by the unrest. The goal is to prevent dropouts and maintain a healthy enrolment rate in colleges.
This scheme is for undergraduate students enrolled in government or government-aided colleges in Manipur. If you're studying any undergraduate program and your education has been impacted due to the current situation, you might be eligible.
The scheme is crucial for ensuring that students don't lose a year or their academic progress due to circumstances beyond their control. It aims to provide a stable learning environment, offer financial relief for essential educational needs, and encourage learning through modern methods, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

What support can students expect from colleges when they are enrolled under this scheme?
Colleges will register students for resources like N-LIST and Moodle LMS. This means students will have access to e-resources and online classes, creating a supportive environment for their learning.

A Screening Committee will carefully look over all applications received by the deadline. For verification, you'll need to submit a Certificate from the SDO/SDC of your local area when you apply.
Will this scheme be available only for the 2023-24 academic year, or is it a recurring program?
