Amidst the turmoil for five months now, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh today informed that the state has successfully enrolled 98.28% of the students living in relief camps in schools nearby.

Taking to X, Chief Minister N Biren Singh wrote, “Pleased to learn that 98.28% of the students staying at the relief camps have been admitted back to the nearest feasible schools. The Department of Education-S has appointed Nodal Officers for each Relief camp and daily data on the requirements of displaced students is being collected by the department by opening a control room.”

Earlier, on May 21, the Manipur government distributed textbooks, notebooks, pens, uniforms, sports materials study materials, to approximately 4,700 students at the relief camps.
The government had also arranged for special classes for the students at the relief camps.
Manipur was on the boil since May 3. Though violence appears to have subsided in the state, normalcy is yet to return to the state. Hundreds of people including children are still living in the relief camps and school and college students have been the worst sufferers because of the deadly clashes between the two communities.
