Abstract: This file contains multiple copies of a cyclostyled sanction memo issued by the Regional Flood Relief Committee, Dacca, under the chairmanship of Madar-e-Millat Miss Fatima Jinnah. The memos, signed by M. Raschid (Honorary Secretary), notify various flood-affected educational institutions of grants sanctioned for rehabilitation. Grant amounts vary across memos: Rs. 100, Rs. 130, Rs. 300 (multiple instances), Rs. 500, Rs. 1,000, Rs. 1,600, and one blank. Each memo outlines the conditions for disbursement: submission of a Certificate of Undertaking ensuring funds are spent exclusively on repairs/reconstruction of buildings or furniture/fixtures, countersignature by the Sub-Divisional Officer or District Magistrate, and a proforma statement of proposed expenditures. All memos are copied to Miss Fatima Jinnah for information.

Description: This file contains multiple copies of a standardized sanction memo (Form RFRC/REI/) issued by the Regional Flood Relief Committee in early 1956. Each memo informs a flood-affected institution of a grant for rehabilitation, with amounts handwritten or typed. Conditions include submission of a countersigned Certificate of Undertaking and a proforma expenditure statement. The documents reflect the committee’s systematic approach to disbursing relief funds to educational institutions following the 1955 floods, with copies forwarded to Miss Fatima Jinnah as chairperson. Several memos show inconsistencies in amounts or incomplete fields, suggesting they were prepared as templates for multiple recipients. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
