Hyderabad: Prominent Muslim scholars and community leaders have written an open letter to Telangana Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy, urging the immediate release of pending Post-Matric Scholarships for minority students under the RTF (Reimbursement of Tuition Fee) scheme.
In a letter to A. Revanth Reddy, the Chief Minister of Telangana, prominent Muslim scholars and community leaders have called for the immediate release of post-matric scholarships for minority students.
They have requested the Chief Minister to take serious note of the situation and the difficulties faced by students in continuing their higher education and employment, and to ensure that the scholarships are released as soon as possible.
Some of the key demands include the immediate release of all pending scholarships, the implementation of time-bound and transparent disbursement processes, and the allocation of special emergency funds to clear existing backlogs.
