Abstract: This file contains multiple copies of cyclostyled sanction memos 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. 20, Rs. 100, Rs. 200, Rs. 300, Rs. 500, Rs. 700, Rs. 1,000, Rs. 2,000 (with some inconsistencies in written amounts such as "Rupees Seven Hundred Only" for Rs. 2,000). 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. Address fields and institution names are partially filled, indicating they are prepared for multiple recipients.

Description: This file contains multiple copies of standardized sanction memos issued by the Regional Flood Relief Committee in January 1956. Each memo informs a flood-affected institution of a grant for rehabilitation, with amounts ranging from Rs. 20 to Rs. 2,000. Conditions include submission of a countersigned Certificate of Undertaking and a proforma expenditure statement. The documents reflect the committee’s systematic disbursement of relief funds to educational institutions following the 1955 floods, with copies forwarded to Miss Fatima Jinnah as chairperson. Several memos show inconsistencies between typed and handwritten amounts (e.g., Rs. 2,000 typed but written as "Seven Hundred Only"), suggesting hasty preparation or clerical errors.
