Allahabad University to provide financial aid to talented, needy students for academic year 2022-23

Amidst the ongoing fee hike protests, Allahabad University has now announced that it has decided to provide financial aid to students for admission to the academic year 2022-23. While speaking to the students, Allahabad University Vice Chancellor, Sangita Srivastava, stated that "if the talented children are unable to pay the fees due to financial problems, the university will reimburse not only their fees but also other requirements. All such students are required to take the form issued by the office of Dean Student Welfare and submit it within 15 working days to avail the benefit."

She further added that "the simple increase in fees will not be a hindrance for any student who will be admitted to the university on the basis of merit. In any case, the Ministry of Social Welfare and other State Government Ministries will entirely reimburse all fees for all economically backward classes."

"The university is marching towards new heights while maintaining its old traditions and so talented students are welcome at the university to study. She also said that fees and hostels cannot become a hindrance to the admission and education of the students," she said. The vice-chancellor also assured that the student will not face any obstacles to study at the university due to financial reasons.

It must be noted that Allahabad University students have been protesting over the fee hike for over a month now. The move of providing financial assistance was taken after discussions between students and officials on fee hike yielded no results as the fees for undergraduate courses at the university have increased by more than 300 per cent.
