Assam Royal Global University to offer scholarships to dependents, wards of CRPF personnel

NEW DELHI: Assam Royal Global University (RGU) on Thursday said it has joined hands with Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to start two scholarship programmes for the eligible dependents and wards of personnel of the force. The private university in a statement said that the two categories of scholarships will be 'Royal Shaurya' and 'Royal Suraksha'.

RGU Academics Registrar D N Singh said that 'Royal Shaurya' will offer 100 per cent scholarship for the families of martyrs and gallantry awardees, while the 'Royal Suraksha' will give 50 per cent tuition support for wards of CRPF personnel. "These scholarships may be allowed on admissions to programmes regulated by statutory bodies such as AICTE, COA, PCI, INC, ANMHVC, BCI or similar councils," he added.

Commenting on the agreement signed between the two sides, CRPF Deputy Inspector General Manas Ranjan expressed his gratitude to Assam Royal Global University for undertaking this initiative. "The scholarships will greatly benefit the families of security personnel, as frequent job transfers often disrupt their children's education," he added.
