Sir,
    I submit herewith an application (in duplicate) for a grant under the scheme of "Financial Assistance for Publication in Sindhi Language". This is for publishing the book entitled ________________________________________________________________ in 
the Sindhi Language.

2.

I certify that I have read the rules of this scheme, and I undertake to abide by them. On behalf of the management (in case of Voluntary Organizations), I further agree to the following conditions :

i.

I/We undertake that, once the estimates etc. of a project have been approved as reasonable and the grant determined on the basis of such estimates, they shall not be modified by the applicant without the prior approval of Council.

ii.

The applicant shall furnish an undertaking in such form as may be prescribed by the Council (vide Bond Proforma attached) before the drawl of the grant, to the effect that the work to be undertaken with the assistance under the scheme shall be completed within a reasonable time as may be determined by the Council, and that the grant shall be utilized only for the purpose for which it was sanctioned. Failure to do so will render the organization liable to refund to the Council the grants released in full, with such interest thereon as the Council may decide.

iii.

No asset created out of the grant paid by the Council shall be transferred to any person/institution without the concurrence of the Council. Should, at any time, the grantee organization/institution cease to exist. The equipment purchased out of the Council grant shall revert to the Council.

iv.

The accounts of the organization/institution will be properly maintained and submitted and shall be open to check by a representative of the Council or the State/UT Government, as and when required.

v.

If the Council or the State/UT Government has reason to believe that the affairs of the organization/institution are not being properly managed, or that the sanctioned money has not been utilised for approved purposes, the Council may then forthwith stop payment of further installments of grant, and also recover from the grantee such money as the Council may decide in relation to the Sanctioned grant.

vi.

The approved grant being released in suitable installments depending upon the nature and progress of the project, the statement of accounts in respect of the total expenditure on the entirety of the project and the utilization certificate in respect of the previous installments (both certified by a chartered accountant), a report on the satisfactory completion of the project, and five complimentary copies of the books as finally published shall be submitted to the Council before the release of the final installment of grant is considered.

vii.

The work of publication shall be completed within a year from the receipt of first installment of grant, or by the deadline as extended by the Council on prior request from the grantee.

viii.

The applicant will exercise the utmost economy in his/its working, especially in respect of expenditure out of the Council grant.

ix.

Progress reports on the project/scheme will be furnished at regular intervals of 3 months.

x.

The price per copy of the publication(s) brought out with assistance under the scheme will be fixed with the prior approval of Council.

xi.

If the grant released exceeds 80% of the actual expenditure on approved items after deducting the State Government grant, if any, from the total actual expenditure, then the difference shall be refunded to the Council.

xii.

The title page of each of the publications should bear the following entries :
"Published with financial assistance from the National Council for Promotion of Sindhi Language, vide Sanction No._________________________ dated________________. " "Copyright vests with _____________________ ".

xiii.

It shall be open to the Council to issue to the grantee (from time to time) such suggestions/directions on the format and contents of the approved publication as found necessary, and it shall be binding on the grantee to comply with the same. In the case of critical editions of Mss., such instructions may cover notes, comparable recensions, a study of the authenticity of available texts, appendices, indices, biographical note on the author etc.

Yours faithfully
