Govt cancels Scholarship funds, 3rd Year MBBS Student Sells Vegetables To Make Ends Meet
Hyderabad: After the Telangana Government cancelled her scholarship funds, an MBBS student in her third year of medical college is on the brink of discontinuing her education.
According to a recent report by ANI, the 22-year-old medical student, who is pursuing her MBBS degree from a Medical school in Kyrgyzstan, has started selling vegetables with her mother to make ends meet.
Speaking to ANI, the medico described how she got an admission into the MBBS degree. After her intermediate examination, she was very interested in getting into a medical school to peruse her MBBS. She said that despite trying at several medical colleges, due to the fee structure, she was not able to get a seat in any college. She then came across merit scholarships that the Telangana government offers to students, along with the opportunity to study abroad in different countries.
She stated that as she got admission into a medical school in Kyrgyzstan, she applied for the scholarship. Only after joining the college, it came to her knowledge through the college administration that the scholarship has not been provided by the Telangana Government, but was granted to her on the basis of her own merit, she added.
She further said that after the completion of her 1st year, she was expecting scholarship support from the Telangana Government. She was told by the concerned officers that the scholarship for MBBS 5 year-course has been cancelled by the government.
