Subject: Request for Re-sending Activation Email from SFMP Portal – JRF Fellowship Activation Issue
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am Subhrajit Samal, a UGC JRF awardee for the year 2024. I have registered for the Ph.D. program in the Department of Economics at Utkal University on 5th February 2025. Following this, I registered on the Scholarship and Fellowship Management Portal (SFMP) – Canara Bank, to initiate the activation process for my JRF fellowship.
Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the activation email sent by the SFMP portal. It is likely that the email was automatically deleted due to insufficient storage space in my registered email inbox
NET Reference No.: 240511094175
I would be grateful for your assistance in this matter. Kindly let me know if any additional information or action is required from my side.
