Hyderabad, Sep 24th: The Lok Satta Party demanded the immediate payment of fees and grant of scholarships to backward class (BC) and economically backward class (EBC) students. Party spokesmen Katari Srinivasa Rao, V Laxman Balaji and E Chennayya alleged that the Andhra Pradesh Government, which sought to gain political mileage by announcing a hike in scholarship amounts for BC students and fee reimbursement to EBC students, did not show the same alacrity in implementing the decision even four months after the start of the academic year.
They demanded the Government to issue immediate orders without falling back on technicalities like reconciliation of vote on account and full budget allocations and suggested that the budgetary allocations for payment of fees and grant of scholarships be doubled so that every eligible student derived the benefit. Application collection from old and new students should be accelerated and enough staff deputed to bring about coordination between college managements and bank branches, the party demanded.
Pointing out that 95 per cent of weaker section students did not go beyond school education and consequently could not avail of the benefits for higher education; the Spokesmen said the Government should, therefore, strengthen school education and enable everyone to have free and quality education without reference to caste, religion and economic status.
