AP Warns Against Fake Agencies Misusing Vidyanjali Portal
The Andhra Pradesh government has warned people, especially unemployed youth, about fake agencies that are misusing the Vidyanjali portal.
These agencies are trying to run fake job drives and collect money illegally.
The Vidyanjali portal is a government program that helps improve government schools by getting support from the community.
The government says that donations for this program should only be in the form of goods, not money, and should be used to improve school buildings.
They also said that no agency can work in schools without permission from the school headmaster.
The government is asking teachers to take care of school property and work to make government schools better.
The Andhra Pradesh government warned against fraudulent agencies misusing the Vidyanjali portal for unauthorised recruitment drives and illegal money collection.
Vidyanjali is a Government of India initiative aimed at promoting community participation in strengthening government schools.
Donations under the Vidyanjali programme are accepted only in kind and are meant for improving school infrastructure.
No agency is permitted to operate in schools without approval from the headmaster through the official Vidyanjali online portal.
