HTBF extends scholarships to Inter students

Vijayawada: Andhra Loyola College (ALC) here on Friday announced that the Help the Blind Foundation (HTBF), a longstanding supporter of higher education for students with visual impairments, has now extended its scholarship programme to include Intermediate students from this academic year. Deepa Krishnamurthy, Managing Trustee of HTBF, stated that the foundation, which has been awarding scholarships to degree students for the past 16 years, will now initiate support for Intermediate students in Andhra Pradesh and three other Indian states on a pilot basis. Under this scheme, visually challenged hostel students at Andhra Loyola College will receive Rs 30,000, while day scholars will be granted Rs 12,000 per academic year. Dr G Sahaya Baskaran, coordinator of the Higher Education for Persons with Special Needs (HEPSN) at ALC, highlighted the college's efforts in inclusive education. 'The college, in collaboration with EnAble India, offers computer training for visually challenged Intermediate and Degree students. Our student volunteers serve as scribes during examinations, and we also provide laptops for those who choose to write exams independently,' he said. Fr Dr Sagayaraj, correspondent of ALC, reaffirmed the institution's commitment to supporting students with all forms of disabilities through accessible infrastructure and financial aid. Fr Dr Kishore, principal of ALC, emphasised, 'No student should be denied education due to financial constraints. Loyola remains deeply committed to inclusive education and takes pride in our excellent placement and higher education record for students with disabilities.'

Potluri Shanti awarded Ph.D in Agrarian Acts

Vijayawada: Acharya Nagarjuna University has awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D) in History to Potluri Shanti for her scholarly research titled 'Agrarian Acts and Their Impact on Society and Economy of Telangana.' The research was carried out under the guidance of Dr Movva Srinivasa Reddy, head of the Department of History at Andhra Loyola College here. Shanti's research focused on the Agrarian Reform Acts introduced by the erstwhile Nizam government in Telangana several decades prior to the People's Armed Struggle. Her thesis critically analysed key legislations such as the Land Alienation Act, Survey and Settlement Act, Jagirdari Abolition Act, and the Debts Relief Act. The study reveals that these reforms predominantly benefited affluent landlords by legalising land ownership in their favour, often resulting in the displacement of cultivators. Furthermore, the research highlights how oppressive systems like Vetti and Adapapa, along with non-economic coercion, played a significant role in fuelling resistance and laying the foundation for the struggle. Dr Potluri Shanti is presently serving as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at City College, Hyderabad. Her work contributes valuable insights into the socio-economic history of Telangana and the dynamics of rural transformation. Correspondent Fr Dr M Sagayaraj, Principal Fr Dr GAP Kishore and the staff of Andhra Loyola College congratulated Dr Shanti on her achievement.
