Jagan credits Rs.1024 crore Vasathi Deevena

Asserting that poverty should not deprive a child from pursuing higher education, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has credited Rs.1024 crore into the bank accounts of mothers of 10,68,150 students under second installment of Jagananna Vasathi Deevena for the academic year 2021-22.

Addressing a public gathering at SPG Grounds here on Friday, the Chief Minister said that only education has the power to change the world, eradicate poverty and backwardness of the society, which is why no child has to be deprived of education.

In order to provide quality education for the students and to ease the financial burden on parents, the government has come up with Vidya Deevena reimbursing the college fees and Vasathi Deevena for boarding and hostel fees to the students.

He stated that many revolutionary reforms were brought in the education sector, right from improvising midday meals under Goru Muddha, to revamping infrastructure in schools through Nadu-Nedu, introduction of bi-lingual textbooks, and many more. Reiterating that the previous government had neglected the fee reimbursement scheme that was started by his father YS Rajashekar Reddy, he said that the current government is doing more than promised, fulfilling every need.
