Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced a monthly scholarship of ₹2,000 for students studying in the state’s newly modernised Advanced Technology Centres (ATCs)—institutes that earlier functioned as ITIs. The announcement was made during the inauguration of upgraded ATCs and aligns with the state’s “Telangana Rising-2047” vision.
Why this matters
- Direct financial support: The ₹2,000/month Scholarship helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for skill-education students, encouraging enrolment and improving retention in job-oriented training.
- Scale of rollout: 65 ATCs are operational this academic year, with 51 more planned next year, serving roughly 11,000 students as upgrades continue through the state’s ITI-modernisation effort.
- Jobs pipeline: A special placement/overseas employment wing will help graduates secure roles in countries such as Japan, Germany, Russia, Taiwan, and South Korea, with support for passports, visas, and language training.
Who is eligible (as announced so far)
- Primary target group: Students enrolled in Telangana ATCs (formerly ITIs).
- Start timeline: Stipend to begin from the next academic year. A formal Government Order (GO)/notification will confirm the exact start month and cycle.
Note: The upcoming GO/notification will specify precise eligibility rules (attendance norms, performance requirements, domicile and income criteria if any), the disbursal method, and the documentation checklist.
Key features at a glance
- Amount: ₹2,000 per student per month.
- Institutions covered: State-run ATCs (ex-ITIs) being modernised across Telangana.
- Placement & mobility support: Dedicated cell for placements, including overseas opportunities and language-skills training.
- Economic vision link: Part of the state’s Telangana Rising-2047 roadmap to build a high-skill workforce.
Step-by-step: Getting your stipend (expected process)
While the detailed notification is pending, the process will typically include:
- Institute verification: ATCs verify admission and minimum attendance.
- Online beneficiary seeding: Student details uploaded to the state portal with Aadhaar-linked bank account.
- DBT disbursal: Monthly transfer via Direct Benefit Transfer to the student’s bank account.
- Compliance checks: Continued payments tied to attendance/performance and active enrolment.
How this fits into the larger skill-push
- ATC modernisation: Upgraded centres launched this year with further expansion next year; legacy ITIs are being transformed with industry-grade labs and curricula.
- Student assistance trend: Adds a focused, skill-education stipend to improve access, completion rates, and employability outcomes.
Conclusion
This ₹2,000-per-month scholarship signals a strong push to make skill education affordable, modern, and job-linked. By coupling financial support with upgraded training infrastructure and a dedicated placement/overseas employment wing, Telangana aims to boost enrolment, cut drop-outs, and create a direct pipeline from classrooms to quality jobs.
Until the official GO is out, students should keep documents ready—admission proof, Aadhaar-linked bank account, and attendance records—so they can receive the stipend promptly once the rollout begins.
