Hyderabad: The Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) urged the Andhra Pradesh government to speed up the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) staff, infrastructure, and finances.
Speaking to the media after a meeting here on Thursday with APSCHE chairman Prof. L Venugopal and officials of APSCHE, TSCHE chairman, Prof. Papi Reddy said that Rashtriya Uchchattar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) funds have been temporarily stopped by the central government.
“If the council is bifurcated, a good amount of funds would be received under RUSA which will be helpful to students. A file was sent in this regard by Telangana government to AP government to bifurcate APSCHE on 42:58 bases, so far there has been no outcome. I request the AP government speed up the process,” he added.
Reddy said that both the councils were under severe staff crunch. “Once the bifurcation process concludes, officials from other government offices or universities would be called on deputation for TSCHE. Apart from that the council has fund crunch also. It requires vehicles and infrastructure,” he added.
Reddy stated that APSCHE officials responded positively to their request and they agreed to share the staff.
