Students and activists in Gadwal gathered to demand immediate action on the delayed scholarship fee reimbursements. Led by D Kiran of the Students Federation of India (SFI), the assembly highlighted the challenges faced by students due to withheld funds meant for their education.
D Kiran expressed concerns over the impact of delayed reimbursements on students, leading some to abandon their studies or face financial hardships. He called for a dedicated minister for the education department to address these issues promptly.
The gathering included students standing in solidarity to advocate for their right to education without financial barriers. Kiran demanded the release of pending scholarship funds totaling eight hundred crores across the district.
Attendees resonated with the demands, expressing frustration with bureaucratic delays and administrative apathy towards student welfare. They vowed to continue advocating until every student receives the financial support owed to them.
In response to the pressure, government officials have committed to expediting the release of scholarship funds and considering appointing a special minister for education. The resolve of students and activists remained strong, believing in the power of collective action to bring about positive change for future generations.
