The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh launched the YSR Jagananna Vidya Deevena Scheme on 27 November 2019. Under this scheme, students will get financial benefits, the so-called student education sponsorship program.
Earlier, this scheme was called Fee reimbursement. The scheme’s main aim is to help needy students financially pursue college studies.
The government allocated Rs 4900 crores to implement the scheme for the 2020-2021 session. Many students in Andhra Pradesh have remarkable academic scores and cannot pay their fees.
They don’t have sufficient money to pay a fee or even eat properly. So, with this scheme, the CM wants to help those students who cannot pay a fee for their studies.
Jagananna Vidya Deevena started implementation on 28th April 2020. According to reports, nearly 14 Lakh students will get the fee reimbursement.
The government sanctioned Rs 4900 crores, in which the previous due of Rs 1880 crores was added. The sanctioned amount will be directly transferred to the bank accounts of the student’s mother.
