Andhra CM Releases Rs 680 cr to Support Higher Education of 9.3 lakh Students
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister, has reaffirmed his commitment to education by allocating Rs. 680 crore to the 'Jagananna Vidya Deevena - 100% fee reimbursement' scheme. This historic step will assist a whopping 9,32,235 students studying engineering, medical, polytechnics, and ITI.
This groundbreaking financial aid has ignited optimism and expectations for students across Andhra Pradesh during the quarter spanning April to June 2023.
The CM stressed the massive advances the state government has made in the area of education over the last four years in a forceful address to the public at Nagari, Chittoor District. Education has emerged as a key priority area under the visionary leadership of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The Ammavodi financial support, which provides an annual sum of Rs 15,000, demonstrates this devotion by encouraging children to pursue their studies without financial restraints.
Multifaceted projects like 'Jagannna Vidya Kanuka' demonstrate the transformative influence of the government's activities. This yearly event ensures that students begin the school year with vital resources such as bags, notebooks, uniforms, and shoes, laying the groundwork for a successful educational journey.
The 'Nadu-Nedu' scheme has given abandoned schools new life by completely revamping their appearance.
Chief Minister Reddy provided an exciting vision for Andhra Pradesh's educational future. The addition of curriculum-aligned Byjus content brings a modern touch to learning.
The introduction of topic instructors beginning in the third grade and plans to begin teaching TOEFL orientation in the third grade demonstrate the dedication to comprehensive education.
The emphasis on foreign certifications, beginning with CBSE and progressing to IB and IGCSE, demonstrates the state's commitment to global educational standards.
The rapid pace of digitisation is evident as around 63,000 classrooms are set to be equipped with interactive flat panels (IFPs) and smart TVs by December 2023. In a bid to enhance learning experiences, eighth-grade students are being equipped with tablets, aimed at fostering motivation and improving comprehension.
As Chief Minister Reddy continues to steer the state towards educational excellence, his unwavering dedication stands as a beacon of hope for the countless students whose dreams are being ignited through these initiatives.
This monumental investment is a testament to the fact that in Andhra Pradesh, education is not just a priority, but a promise fulfilled.
