BRAOU announces free education to transgenders in TG
Hyderabad: As part of the university's Equal Opportunity Plan, Dr B.R. Ambedkar Open University has announced that free degree courses will be provided to all transgender people in Telangana, said Vice Chancellor Prof. Ghanta Chakrapani on Sunday. He described the initiative as a progressive step forward in inclusive education, stating that BRAOU would be the first university to provide such an opportunity for transgenders. Under this innovative scheme, beginning in the academic year 2025-26, any transgender person with a 10+2 (Intermediate or equivalent) qualification can enrol in any degree course offered by the university. A nominal registration fee of Rs 500 would be the only charge, as the university has decided to waive all tuition fees. In addition to the tuition fee waiver, transgender students will be provided with free course materials, and no fees will be charged for attending classes or continuing their studies through other media. He also stated that study tools would be available to them free of cost. He said that they can gain admission to any study centre across Telangana and attend classes there. Prof. Chakrapani reminded the audience that the university is moving forward with the aim of providing equal opportunities to all sections of society. He highlighted that the university is already fulfilling its social responsibility by providing free education to prisoners and military personnel. He also revealed that a programme has already been announced to provide free higher education to children from backward tribal communities in the state, such as Gond, Koya, and Chenchu, starting from this academic year.

Hyderabad: In a move to enhance skill development through education-linked employment, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU), in association with the Retailers Association Skill Council of India (RASCI), organised a Job Mela on campus to promote its Stipend-Based Apprenticeship Program (SAP). The event organised on Thursday attracted students from across Telangana and highlighted new pathways for earning while learning. Prof. Ghanta Chakrapani, Vice Chancellor of BRAOU, addressed the gathering as the chief guest, emphasising the university's mission to empower students with scholarship-based education. He highlighted that students enrolled in the SAP have the opportunity to earn stipends ranging from Rs 7,000 to Rs 24,000 per month while continuing their academic journey. 'Our goal is to ensure that every student not only receives an education but also becomes employable or entrepreneurial,' Prof. Chakrapani said. He announced future collaborations with reputed organisations to host additional job fairs and skill-oriented initiatives. He also reaffirmed the university's dedication to preparing students for managerial roles through a practice-intensive, stipend-linked degree framework. The Vice Chancellor commended the Telangana government's initiative to boost women's entrepreneurship in both urban and rural partnership with WE-Hub is a strategic step in that direction, aiming to foster innovation and leadership among women. He also announced the rollout of short-term vocational courses for tribal and rural learners via Swami Ramananda Tirtha Rural Institute. Joining virtually from Mumbai, Sameer Narsapur, Head of Standards & Quality Assurance at RASCI, emphasised the importance of integrating education with professional experience. Chanda Vadde, General Manager of Industry and Academia (RASCI South), spoke about RASCI's Four-I's model—Individual, Institution, Industry, and India—which forms the foundation of the curriculum design. 'The SAP program offers more than a certificate—it creates financially independent and professionally competent individuals,' she added, assuring students of enhanced employment prospects upon completion.
