The Andhra Pradesh government has released ₹45.53 crore under the Jagananna Videshi Vidya Deevena, benefiting 357 students who have gained admission in top 50 universities abroad. The amount will be credited into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries’ mothers.
Releasing the amount at his camp office, near here, on July 27 (Thursday), Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “Unless our students are supported with financial assistance to pursue higher education in top colleges and universities, they can’t become leaders.”
“The scheme will help aspirants become global leaders. They can become CEOs of top companies in the world. It is a boon to meritorious SC, ST, BC, minority and EBC students who want to study abroad. Parents of such students should not fall into a debt trap. The government, hence, is extending assistance to all eligible students under the scheme,” the Chief Minister said.
