Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday released the first instalment of fee reimbursement under Jagananna Vidya Deevena scheme amounting to nearly ₹672 crore. The money was directly transferred into the bank accounts of mothers of 10.88 lakh students pursuing higher studies. On the occasion, Mr. Reddy said the scheme has been designed to make education accessible to the poor and that education is the real wealth which can be given to the future generations. It was because education alone can eradicate poverty and change their lives. He pointed out that none of the previous governments had reimbursed the fee arrears on such a large scale.
