Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister said that the government has cleared Rs 1,800 crore fees reimbursement dues of 2018-19 academic year and also paid dues of the three quarters of the current academic year.
From the next academic year, the fees reimbursement amount will be credited to the bank accounts of the student’s mother after the third quarter of the academic year.
The officials told Chief Minister that previously, the government used to pay only Rs 35,000 fee reimbursement and remaining paid by the parents in the engineering colleges. But now the YSRCP government has issued orders to reimburse total fees and also ordered the colleges to repay the amount to parents that they have paid.
For the same, the orders have been issued to 191 colleges and Chief Minister ordered the district collectors to ensure the repayment of fees to the parents from these colleges.
With concern to the Rythu Bharosa, he ordered the official to be prepared by May 15 and complete the procedure and ensure that every eligible is applied to the scheme before May 15. All the collectors were ordered to intensify works related to rythu bharosa centers and village clinics. Rythu bharosa centers should be functional from June and all the works should be completed by March 2021.
Chief Minister said that he was proud that every acre collected for house site distribution is collected with proper consent after paying the money. He asked the officials to complete the remaining works related to this program and said that the distributions can be completed in May if things go well. Rice distribution to the poor should be carried out, the Chief Minister said.
