Kohima [Nagaland], June 20 (HornbillTV): Grants for schools are informed to be available for all 1,953 government schools in Nagaland as “Performance Incentive Grants” as part of the governance and capacity building component of the Nagaland Education Project-The Lighthouse (NECTAR), a project funded by the World Bank.

The grant can be availed by school management committees and school management and development committees (SMDCs) a press release received here on Monday stated.

Recognizing that every school is unique with varying needs, the school management committees and SMDCs are given the liberty to make their own need-based proposals or action plans.
