HYDERABAD: With many private teachers and staff members working without or on half salaries due to the pandemic that ensued since last year, the Telangana government had announced financial aid of Rs 2,000 and 25 kg rice for them. With the closure of educational institutions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers and non-teaching staff of many private schools are surviving with hardly enough money to live on. This assistance will continue till the educational institutions reopen.
The education department released Rs 32 crore for this scheme, where more than 1.45 lakh teachers and other staff were credited with the amount. Rice is being supplied through ration shops and the Civil Supplies Corporation was directed to supply about 3,625 tonnes of fine variety rice.
