Bhimavaram: Students real wealth for nation, says MLA G Srinivas

Bhimavaram: MLA G Srinivas has said students were the real wealth of a country and that was the reason why the State government has been spending crores of rupees on their education. He presented scholarships worth Rs 24 lakh to poor students under the auspices of Alluri Seetharamaraju Seva Samiti here on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, he reminded that former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy had introduced fee reimbursement scheme for students pursuing higher education as he believed development could be possible only through education. Following footprints of his father, the present Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has introduced many schemes for the education of the poor including Amma Vodi, Vidya Vasati Deevena, fee reimbursement and others, the MLA added.
