Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday announced that fee reimbursement dues for the year 2018-19 worth ₹1,800 crore would be released. Besides, dues for the nine months in the academic year 2019-20 would also be released, he said. Addressing a video conference with Collectors of all districts, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said from the next academic year, the fee reimbursement amount would be directly deposited in the bank accounts of the students’ mothers. In the erstwhile TDP rule, the maximum limit of the fee reimbursement being ₹35,000, parents had to shell out the remaining amount from their own pockets. The government has asked the college managements to return that additional amount to the students and said it would release funds to the colleges for the purpose.
