Allegations of Rs 3.5 Crore Scam in Andhra Pradesh's Hithakarini Samajam Institutions
A group that helps people, started by a reformer long ago, is in the news.
The person now in charge of this group says that about 3.5 crore rupees given by the government for building new school rooms are missing.
He believes no new buildings were made, and nobody knows where the money went.
He also thinks it was wrong for the government to take over some of the schools.
The group wants to make sure the money is used correctly and that the schools follow the original reformer's wishes.
This includes a rule about not cooking certain foods in the school kitchens.
The group is asking for an investigation into all the money and properties.
A Rs 3.5 crore scam is alleged in the Hithakarini Samajam institutions in Andhra Pradesh.
The funds were reportedly released by the state government for the construction of buildings for educational institutions.
The current Hithakarini Samajam president, Yalla Pradeep, claims the money is unaccounted for and no buildings have been constructed.
He also alleges the YSRC government's takeover of SKVT High School, SKR Women’s Degree College, and SKVT Degree College was illegal.
An inquiry is demanded, along with the seizure of account books to verify fund misuse and ensure adherence to the founder's objectives.
