AISF demands 30% of Telangana budget for education

"It is not appropriate to reduce the allocation from 7.30 percent of last year to 6.57 percent this year,” held the students federation.

Hanamkonda: The AISF (All India Students’ Federation) has demanded that the government should increase the allocation for the education sector from the existing 6.57 percent share of the total budget to 30 percent.

AISF general secretary Bashaboina Santosh in Hanamkonda District held that it was unfair to allocate just Rs 19,093 crore to the benefit of students from the state budget.

“While the total outlay of the budget is Rs 2,90,396 crores, the funds allocated to the education sector are 6.57 percent of the total budget. It is not appropriate to reduce the allocation from 7.30 percent last year to 6.57 percent this year,” stated the secretary in a press note.
