NGOs, PTAs, to receive grants to conduct workshops

Panaji: The state government will now provide grants to NGOs, registered educational societies and parent teacher associations to conduct seminars, conferences and workshops on subjects of 'educational and social importance.' Students and teachers, whose papers are selected for presentation at national and international seminars, conferences, workshops and mootcourts will also be offered assistance under the new scheme.
The proposal for the conducting of the seminars and workshops will have to be submitted to the directorate of higher education for approval at least two months before the actual event.
The maximum amount of financial support granted to any organization in a year will be restricted to 10 lakh. In exceptional circumstances, however, the government may consider a higher level of financial assistance on a case-to-case basis, but not exceeding 20 lakh to any one organization.
The state assistance will only cover the deficit and will be limited to a maximum of 75% of the actual expenses in conduct of
the activity.
