The Federation of Associations of Telangana Higher Institutions (FATHI) spoke with Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka in Hyderabad on Friday and agreed to end its protest over outstanding tuition reimbursement dues.
The decision followed a government request to postpone the Teachers’ Svaantana Sabha, which was originally scheduled on November 8 at LB Stadium, due to the current electoral process in the Jubilee Hills seat.
Why FATHI Ended the Telangana College Protest
- FATHI requested ₹1,500 crore in overdue reimbursements for private institutions.
- Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka confirmed ₹600 crore is already released.
- An additional ₹600 crore will be provided within 3-4 days.
- The remaining ₹300 crore would be cleared in stages.
- He added that a special group on reimbursement reforms has already been formed, which includes college representatives and government officials, to avoid future delays.
Impact on Students and University Exams
Following discussions at Praja Bhavan, FATHI General Secretary Ravi Kumar said that the federation would call off the lecturers’ protest to ensure that students are not affected.
We regret the exam disruptions and will coordinate with universities to hold the stalled papers soon,” said FATHI President Nimmatouri Ramesh Babu.
Telangana College Exams to Resume After Strike Ends
- All postponed college examinations are going to be rescheduled soon.
- Colleges will continue their usual academic activity.
- The committee’s findings may influence long-term improvements to Telangana’s higher-education financial structure.
Conclusion: What’s Next for Telangana Education
The Telangana government’s swift reaction represents a step toward stability in the state’s educational industry. Both parties agreed to work together to provide swift reimbursements and continuous learning for students.
