Andhra CM to launch 'Jagananna Vidya Kanuka' scheme on Oct’ 8

Vijayawada, Oct 7 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will launch the ‘Jagananna Vidya Kanuka’ scheme by distributing kits to the students from Classes 1 to 10 on October 8 at the Punapadu government school in Krishna district.
The significance of the scheme is that the kit comprises three pairs of uniform, one pair of shoes, two pairs of socks, prescribed textbooks, notebooks, belt and a school bag getting the student fully prepared for the new academic year.
“The Jagananna Vidya Kanuka” puts an end to the earlier practice of erratic and non- supply of books, uniform and other essentials to students. The Chief Minister will formally launch the scheme at Punapadu government school in Krishna district which heralds a new chapter to strengthen the enrollment rate in government schools.
Under Jagananna Vidya Kanuka, 42,34,322 kits would be distributed across the state with an estimated cost of Rs 650 crore. Official sources said that the kits would bring relief to the parents and save the new academic year expenditure motivating them further to send their children to school and continue their education.
“The scheme will not only increase the number of admissions in government schools but also bring down the dropout rate”, the source added. There was full transparency in the purchase of material which has undergone reverse tendering and e-procurement to ensure that there is no scope for corruption, officials said.
