Mokokchung, Dec. 15 (EMN): Ao Senden, Watsu Mungdang, Ao Kaketshir Mungdang and Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem have submitted a joint representation to the State chief secretary for intervention into the non-disbursal of Prime Minister Employment Guarantee Programme(PMEGP) to the selected beneficiaries in Mokokchung district.
In the joint representation Imliyanger Jamir, president of Ao Senden; Maongienla, president of Watsu Mungdang; Sunglem, vice president of Ao Students Conference; and Aolong, convenor grievance cell of MTLT; stated that the PMEGP beneficiaries from 2014 batch are yet to receive loans from certain banks- Axis bank, ICICI Bank and HDFC bank-Mokokchung branch.
While appreciating the PMEGP flagship initiated by the central government, the four organisations felt that there seemed to be some discrepancies in the disbursal of the said fund to the beneficiaries under Mokokchung district by certain banks.
The four organisations, after taking into account an appeal letter from the PMEGP beneficiaries received on December 13, decided to take stock of the issue and met with the concerned authority led by Mokokchung Deputy Commissioner at his office chamber on December 14. As the meeting was inconclusive, it stated that PMEGP beneficiaries were compelled to encumber the smooth transaction of Mokokchung branches of Axis bank, HDFC bank and ICICI bank for a few hours.
The four organisations appealed to the chief secretary to take up the issue in all earnestness so that such kind of issue does not affect the morale and aspirations of the young entrepreneurs .
