Telangana is witnessing growing unrest over pending fee reimbursements and scholarships for students. Educational institutions and student groups have expressed strong dissatisfaction over delays in government payments, which involve crores of rupees. The Federation of Private Engineering Colleges announced a statewide college strike from November 3, demanding immediate release of pending fees.
The SFI (Students Federation of India) also condemned colleges for withholding certificates from students due to pending reimbursements. They announced a statewide strike on October 30, insisting certificates should be provided immediately without delays. Authorities have been urged to take strict action against institutions harassing students for pending fees.
Previously, engineering colleges had marked “Engineers’ Day” as a “Black Day” to protest delayed reimbursements. Key meetings with leaders from various political parties are scheduled on November 1 to address the issue. Representatives confirmed that official notices regarding the strike will be submitted to the government today.
The strike call by SFI has become a hot topic. With student groups and college management protesting simultaneously, pressure is mounting on the Telangana government. Immediate government intervention is expected to resolve pending reimbursements and meet the demands of students and institutions.
