Amma Vodi, an educational scheme introduced by the Y.S. jagan Mohan Reddy's government mainly to check dropout rate in Andhra Pradesh. The scheme gives 15000 Rupees per annum for every mother of a school-going child. The Chief Minister has now taken another radical decision increasing the ambit of the scheme.
The state government has decided to extend Amma Vodi scheme to the intermediate students. jagan said that he was ready to spare any amount of budget to the scheme and asked the officials to ready the blue-print. The schedule would begin from January 26th, 2020 as Republic Day Special. The government will make allocations for the scheme in the budget.
On the other side, the education activists are demanding that the state government takes back its decision on making Amma Vodi scheme applicable to private schools. They have apprehensions that the schedule will ruin the future of the government schools as the parents will opt for Private Schools making Government Schools useless.
