Colleges Struggling Due to Non-Release of Funds
The Telangana Private Degree and PG Colleges Management Association (TPDMA) has announced an indefinite bandh starting Tuesday, October 15, in protest of the government’s failure to clear fee reimbursement arrears. The managements of private colleges in Telangana have been struggling to operate due to the non-release of fee reimbursement funds. This has led to difficulties in paying staff salaries, rent for college buildings, and loan interest.
Government Allocation of Rs. 2,500 Crore Annually
According to the TPDMA, the government has allocated Rs. 2,500 crore annually towards fee reimbursement, but a significant portion of this amount remains unpaid for the academic years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24.
Repeated Requests to Government Ignored
Despite repeated requests and representations to the government, the fee reimbursement dues have not been released. The college managements have warned that they will be unable to continue operations if the government does not address this issue promptly.
