According to the minutes of the July 5 meeting, all students up to Class 9 are to be admitted provisionally. “Since many displaced students from classes 9 to 12 do not have relevant documents with them due to sudden departure from Manipur, DDE Patrachar and NIOS are directed to provide assistance to such students in getting admissions by contacting them personally on phone," read the minutes of the meeting.
Pertinently, Tamil Nadu government led by MK Stalin has also extended support to Manipur athletes. Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday decided to extend aid and provide facilities to Manipur players for future tournaments.
