Disbursement of First Instalment Student Welfare Fund (SWF)
Date: 2 September 2026
The first instalment of the Students’ Welfare Fund (SWF) for the academic session 2026–27 was disbursed to the selected beneficiaries on 2nd September 2026. The programme was led by the Convener of the Students’ Welfare Fund, Ms. Anungla Aier, Associate Professor and HoD, Department of Economics. Congratulating the beneficiaries, Ms. Aier informed them that the Welfare Fund is contributed by the teachers themselves to support students who are genuinely in need. She also recalled the special scholarships instituted by two pioneer families associated with the college in memory of their family members:
- The “S. K. Dutta (Kaloo) Award,” sponsored by Mrs Neena Dutta & Family
- The “Jaigopal Anand Scholarship,” sponsored by Shri Narinder Anand & Family.
She reminded students to maintain good attendance and avoid backlogs, as failure to meet the required criteria could result in the forfeiture of the second instalment of the Welfare Fund, scheduled for February 2027. Students were urged to make the best use of the support, work harder, remain regular in class, and strive for excellence, sincerity, and honesty in their studies.
Dr. Vinyuhu Lhoungu, IQAC Coordinator and Associate Professor, Department of Economics, acknowledged the Students’ Welfare Committee for their dedication and efforts in facilitating the disbursement of the fund. He also highlighted the college’s various student-support initiatives, including free computer courses, and spoke about the valuable support extended by alumni and well-wishers towards assisting students in need.
Before the concluding prayer, Dr Hannah Tia clarified that the Welfare Fund is intended for genuinely needy students rather than being limited to those who are poor. She reminded the students that the teachers contribute to the fund from their hearts and encouraged them to remember them in their prayers. They were encouraged to maintain good attendance, demonstrate academic commitment, uphold discipline, and set an example for their peers. The programme reaffirmed the institution’s continued commitment to supporting students in their academic pursuits and personal development.
