Muslim Students Apprise YS Jagan Of Scholarship Delay

Kommuru: During the course of YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's mass outreach initiative, Praja Sankalpa Yatra, third year students of undergraduate degree courses from the minority Muslim community met him and complained to him that they had not been getting their scholarships for the past two years. Hence, the pursuit of college education posed a challenge to many students from the economically deprived community, they said. M.S.K. Hajira Bi told YS Jagan, with tears welling up in her eyes, that she did not get the scholarship amount for her Intermediate course and was, therefore, compelled to drop out of her undergraduate course. M. Akber, a student of IX standard had a similar tale to narrate. She said that in the past they would get Rs.5,000 per year and that for the past three years, the scholarship amount was not being reimbursed. Jani Begum studying VI standard also had a similar experience to share with the YSRCP chief.
