Hyderabad, Oct.8 (NSS): BRS party senior leader & former minister Harish Rao today demanded that the State government pay 13 lakh students of the State by keeping in mind their future. He said the students were clueless as they did not get their fee reimbursement dues so far.
He claimed that the managements of educational institutions were not giving certificates and TCs of the students due to their pending fee dues and added that the students and their parents were facing mental trauma due to the attitude of the educational institutions. He alleged that the State government was showing gross negligence in releasing the pending dues of Intermediate, degree and PG students and added that the non-release of the fee reimbursement dues by the State government was a classic example to highlight the importance it was giving to the education sector.

Harish Rao made these remarks during a meeting with the members of the association of Telangana Degree and PG colleges management association.
