Chief Minister of Vijayawada, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, will disburse Rs.703 crores for financial aid to students under the Jagananna Vidya Deevena (JVD) programme.

The fee reimbursement amount for the quarter of January-March 2024 will be deposited into the bank accounts of the mothers of 9,500,000 pupils. After dispersing the funds, the CM will also address a public assembly in Kovvur.

“We have spent Rs.14,912.43 crores on ‘Jagananna Vidya Deevena’ and ‘Jagananna Vasathi Deevena’ over the past four years, including the release of unpaid dues from the regime of Chandrababu Naidu,” stated education minister Botcha Satyanarayana. He stated that the state government introduced ‘Jagananna Vidya Deevena’ with the intention of providing poor students with access to higher education.

According to him, the government has been reimbursing the total fee directly into the bank accounts of the mothers of students enrolled in ITI, Polytechnic, degree, engineering, medicine, and other courses, without regard to the number of eligible children in a family.

Revitalising Higher Education

State government launched programmes such as ‘Jagananna Vidya Deevena’ and ‘Jagananna Vasathi Deevena’ that reimbursed students for tuition, boarding, and accommodation.

State government has revised the curriculum to include a 4-year UG Honours degree, as well as job-oriented modules and 30% Skill Development Courses, in order to increase the employability of students and meet the requirements of the industry.

Online Verticals have been incorporated into the curriculum so that students can acquire the necessary skills online.

By mandating a 10-month practicum, the government is preparing students to meet industrial demands.
