They said that the government reduced the budget allocations from Rs 33,410 crore in 2019-20 to Rs 25,517 crore in 2020-21 and requested him to implement Kothari Commission's recommendations to allocate 30 per cent of the State budget, 10 per cent of the central budget and 6 per cent of GDP to education.
They asked him to see the fees reimbursement scheme is implemented in the State without any glitches and offer special aid to the private teachers who suffered in the Covid-19 pandemic.

They requested the Minister to include the question paper in the Urdu language also for the entrance and competitive exams to give a fair opportunity to them. They asked the Minister to give special attention to increasing education opportunities in the minority concentrated districts and encourage establishment of off-campus centres of minority universities like AMU, JMI, MANUU etc for their higher education.
The Minister responded in a positive manner and gave an assurance that the points will be considered in the preparation of the upcoming budget.
