Youth being discouraged from higher education: Uttam

Youngsters have to gear themselves up to fight against the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government’s policy of diluting the universities and ignoring recruitments, and at the same time counter the communal environment being created to divert their attention from the Central government’s policies, said Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy. Inaugurating the two-day training camp of Telangana Youth Congress in TRR Medical College complex in Patancheru on Tuesday, he alleged that youth were being discouraged from taking up higher education by the government which was scrapping or downsizing the scholarships and other relevant schemes. The training programme was held in the name of Congress Yuva Kranthi and those recruited through social media were being trained at this programme.
