Students To be Educated on Government Schemes

The State government has decided to involve undergraduates and postgraduates by way of conducting competitions and extracurricular activities around the welfare programs as the central theme to reach out to masses. As per the decision taken, students of UG and PG would be asked to participate in different campus activities and competitions emphasising various government schemes. 

An advisory from the Commissionerate of Collegiate Education has already been given to all the colleges across the State in this regard. Apart from advertising the welfare schemes in various media platforms, the State government has come up with this plan to educate the student fraternity on the same. The government has since its coming to power introduced several schemes including Asara pensions, food security cards, preservation of tanks, Shadi Mubarak, Kalyana Lakshmi and others.

Commissioner Collegiate Education A Vani Prasad said, “We have asked all the colleges across the State to involve students by means of competitions and activities in the campuses on various government schemes.” She said that the activities could be held at the convenience of college itineraries. “Many colleges have already held such events but not all. The Commissionerate was entrusted with the responsibility of taking this to every college,” she stated.

We have not fixed any time frame for the colleges as it would cause inconvenience to the students and managements, she added. Around 85,000 students from government run and private degree colleges would participate in the competitions proposed to be held by the State government.
