Abstract: This collection comprises official correspondence, certificates of undertaking, money order receipts, and acknowledgment forms related to flood relief operations in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) during the mid-1950s. The documents specifically pertain to grants sanctioned by the Regional Flood Relief Committee, of which Madar-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah was the Chairman, to various schools (such as Dhuburia S.H.P.

The files detail fund allocations (typically Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000) for repairing school buildings and replacing damaged furniture, as well as the procedural undertaking by institutions to ensure exclusive use of funds for declared purposes.
