Guwahati, April 18: Reinforcing its commitment to nation-building through
education, The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) has signed a landmark Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the Meghalaya Police.
The agreement was formalised yesterday at the Office of the Director General of Police in Shillong in the presence of
officials from Meghalaya Police and RGU.
The MoU was signed by Smti. Idashisha Nongrang, IPS, Director General of Police,
Meghalaya, on behalf of the Meghalaya Police, and Dr. D. N. Singh, Registrar (Academics),
representing RGU.
Speaking on the occasion, Smti. Nongrang expressed optimism about the collaboration,
stating that it would be fully leveraged to benefit the community and stands as a meaningful
promise of support and opportunity.
The DGP stated, “This MoU will benefit the wards of the
Meghalaya police personnel. I’m sure that the vast choice of subjects and the vast number of
schools that are in the Royal Global University, it is only fitting to have representatives from
all over the country and abroad. It has also students from Meghalaya. I would just take this
opportunity to encourage more students from Meghalaya to join the Royal Global
University”.
Nongrang expressed confidence that the collaboration would be effectively utilised to
benefit the community, particularly the wards of Meghalaya Police personnel. She
encouraged aspiring students to consider RGU, highlighting the university’s rapid growth in
recent years, its wide range of academic programmes, and its diverse student community
from across the country and beyond.
This partnership paves the way for enhanced educational opportunities for the wards and
dependents of police personnel from Meghalaya. Under this collaboration, RGU will
introduce two dedicated scholarship categories—Royal Shaurya and Royal
Suraksha—designed to provide quality higher education opportunities to eligible dependents
and wards of defence personnel, including serving personnel, ex-servicemen, personnel with
disabilities, and those who died in harness.
