SFI to hold dharnas for release of fee reimbursement · thehansindia.com

Many students in Telangana need money from the government to help pay for school and college.

The government promised to pay this money but has not yet done so.

The total amount owed to students is more than 10,000 crore rupees.

Because the money has not come, some colleges are holding onto students' important papers, like certificates and memos.

Without these papers, students may not be able to continue their studies or find jobs.

A student group called the Students Federation of India, or SFI, is upset about this situation.

The group plans to hold peaceful protests on August 13.

The protests will happen at district government offices all across Telangana.

The SFI wants the government to pay the money right away and return students' documents.

They also want the government to make sure this money is paid on time every school year.
