GUWAHATI, June 18, 2025: For promoting quality access to higher education and honour the service and sacrifices of the personnel of the force, the Assam Royal Global University (RGU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and launched two distinct categories of academic scholarships for the benefit of eligible dependents and wards of CRPF personnel.
The MoU was signed on Monday by Prof. (Dr) D. N. Singh, Registrar Academics, RGU and Soma Mukherjee, President R/CWA, GC, CRPF Guwahati in the presence of Manas Ranjan, Deputy Inspector General of Police, CRPF and senior officers from RGU and CRPF.
In this regard, Prof. (Dr) DN Singh stated, “The two categories of scholarships for the wards of armed forces and security personnel include ‘Royal Shaurya’ – 100% scholarship for the families of martyrs and gallantry awardees and ‘Royal Suraksha’ – 50% 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.
Manas Ranjan, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude to Assam Royal Global University for undertaking this noble initiative. He stated that the scholarships would greatly benefit the families of security personnel, as frequent job transfers often disrupt their children’s education.

Mention can be made about “Royal Merit On Admission Scholarship”, “Royal Scholarship for EWS category”, “Royal Endowment Scholarship”, RGU Sports Scholarship, Monthly Scholarship for Semester Toppers”, stated Utpal Kanta, Director, Growth and Strategy, RGU.
