Govt. scholarship not released, girl suffering in the Philippines, she says
The mother of an MBBS student, Aggipetla Rubiya Khanam, studying in the Phillippines under the Videshi Vidya Deevena Scheme, on Monday sought the permission of the Anantapur Collector to sell away her kidney to pay for the fee and expenses of her daughter. Fifteen students from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are staying in a single room in the cellar of a hostel after they were thrown out of the hostel for not paying the fee. The parents are not in a position to pay the fee as they depended on the State government’s scholarship sanctioned to them. Magbul Jan, hailing from Hindupur, told The Hindu at the Collector office on Monday that her daughter Ms. Rubiya Khanam had got admitted to Davao Medical School Foundation INC. at Davavo University in the Philippines and applied for the State government’s scholarship. She got the E-Pass also, but the amount was not being released despite the sanction for the past one year.More Related News
