KTR Slams Govt Over Overseas Education Fund Delay: Students' Futures at Risk

• BRS Working President KTR criticized the Congress government for diluting the 'Overseas Vidya Nidhi' scheme, endangering students' futures.
• Under BRS, 7,000 students received up to Rs. 20 lakhs each for overseas education; now, 2,500 students await funds.
• Funds worth Rs. 303 crores, announced in October 2025, have not been released by March 2026, causing distress among students abroad.
• Students are struggling to pay second-semester fees, hostel expenses, and living costs, leading to depression and potential dropouts.
• KTR urged the government to release funds immediately via a green channel to prevent interruption of students' education and implement other promised schemes.
