Release pending overseas scholarship dues, urges BC Students’ Association


Hyderabad (Same Day): The National President of the BC Students’ Association, Thatikonda Vikram Goud, on Friday urged the Telangana government to immediately clear the pending dues under the Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Overseas Vidya Scheme, stating that delays in fee reimbursement and stipend payments have pushed several students studying abroad into severe financial distress.

In a statement issued here, Mr. Goud said many meritorious students from the State, who had secured admissions in foreign universities under the scheme, were struggling to pay tuition fees due to prolonged delays in the release of funds. Some students, he added, were facing academic pressure and uncertainty as universities had reportedly issued fee reminders.

He further claimed that pending scholarships and fee reimbursement arrears in the State had accumulated to over ₹9,000 crore, affecting students enrolled in both overseas and domestic institutions. Alleging that certain private colleges were withholding hall tickets from economically disadvantaged students over unpaid dues, he described the situation as “deeply distressing”.


The BC Students’ Association demanded that the government:

* Immediately release all pending fee reimbursement and stipend amounts;

* Clear arrears under the Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Overseas Scholarship scheme on priority;

* Establish a fixed timeline to prevent accumulation of dues in future;

* Set up a dedicated help desk to address student grievances;

* Introduce an emergency advance assistance mechanism for students studying abroad; and

* Take action against private colleges that deny hall tickets to students over pending reimbursements.

Mr. Goud said students had placed their trust in the government while pursuing higher education overseas and were now facing avoidable hardships due to delays in financial support. He urged the authorities to treat the issue as a special case and take an immediate and positive decision to safeguard students’ academic futures.

Leaders including Kanakala Shyamkumar, national president of the BC Youth Association; Jajula Lingaiah, State secretary of the BC Welfare Association; Tandur Srinivas, working president of the BC Youth Association; Godugu Mahesh, State president of the Students’ Association; Indram Rajaka, State general secretary of the BC Students’ Association; and Bolepalli Swami Goud, president of the Students’ JAC, were present.

Patients Forced to Buy Medicines, Carry Bottles at Unani Hospital Charminar: Lubna Sarwat Raise Alarm

Image
Hyderabad (Same Day): Patients visiting the Government Unani Hospital in Charminar are reportedly being compelled to purchase a majority of their prescribed medicines from private pharmacies, with activists claiming that over 60% of essential Unani medicines are unavailable at the facility. Adding to the woes, patients are also being asked to bring their own empty bottles to collect traditional halwa-based medicines—a practice described as both inconvenient and degrading by social activists and patient families. Dr. Lubna Sarwath, social and environmental activist and member of the Indian National Congress (INC), has formally raised the grievance with the Hyderabad District Collector on Wednesday, demanding immediate redressal. “This is a public hospital meant to serve the underprivileged. Patients should not have to bear the financial burden of purchasing medicines or bring containers to access prescribed formulations. It reflects a breakdown in basic public health services,” she sai...
