Telangana to Deposit ₹2,400 Cr Fee Reimbursement in Advance
The leader of a place called Telangana, Mr. Revanth Reddy, made a big promise.
His government will send money straight into students' bank accounts to help pay for school and college.
This money, called fee reimbursement, will be given before it is needed, starting this school year.
Some money, 250 crore rupees, is already ready to be sent out.
Students will get their money within one month of filling out an online form.
In the past, some colleges kept report cards and certificates because the government money arrived late.
The new system should stop that from happening.
The government is also building special Technical Centres where students can learn useful job skills and even get 2,000 rupees every month.
Mr. Reddy says learning skills, not just getting certificates, is the best way to find a job.
He also wants education to be fair for everyone, including communities that were left behind in the past.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced ₹2,400 crore in advance student fee reimbursements, deposited directly into bank accounts starting this academic year.
₹250 crore has already been made available for immediate payments, with amounts credited within a month of submitting an online application.
The overhauled direct benefit transfer system aims to stop colleges from withholding certificates due to delayed government payouts.
An integrated skill development curriculum for Nursery through Class 12 and Advanced Technical Centres in 119 constituencies with Tata Group will provide training and ₹2,000 monthly stipends.
Reddy noted that 60% of recent Group-1 recruits were from Backward Classes and criticized the previous BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) regime's education policies.
