Speaking on the occasion Dr.S.V.Kota Reddy –Vice-Chancellor at VIT AP University, said The STARS scheme, which began in 2008 in Vellore Tamilnadu is the brainchild of Dr. G. Viswanathan – Hon’ble Chancellor of VIT University. The STARS scheme underscores VIT’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for rural students. Originally launched for rural students in Tamil Nadu, the scheme has now expanded its reach to benefit academically bright students from economically challenged backgrounds in Andhra Pradesh from 2017 onwards.VIT-AP University offers free admission to 52 students each year, selecting one boy and one girl from each of the 26 districts of Andhra Pradesh. These students are district toppers who have studied in government colleges located in remote villages of the state. Today, 48 out of these 52 students received their admission letters.

Many of these students come from families surviving on daily wages or working as domestic helpers, or as poor farmers where the dream of higher education often remains a distant reality. Through the STARS scheme, we are not only providing them with an opportunity to pursue their academic aspirations but also empowering them to contribute meaningfully to society.”

“At VIT AP, we believe that every deserving student should have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams,” added Dr. Jagadish Chandra Mudiganti – Registrar. “The STARS scheme at VIT AP University not only covers tuition fees but also extends support for free hostel accommodation. This comprehensive support ensures that financial constraints do not hinder the educational ambitions of talented students. The STARS scheme exemplifies our commitment to fostering talent and creating a more equitable society.“

“The university’s initiative has garnered praise for its proactive approach to addressing socio-economic disparities through education. By offering a pathway to higher education, VIT AP University is paving the way for a brighter future for these students,” added Dr. Jagadish Chandra Mudiganti

Dr. John Pradeep – Deputy Director of Admissions, Dr.Manoj Kumar Mishra – Assistant Director of Admissions, Venkanta Laxmi – STAR Scheme Coordinator, and Dayanand Gunti – Chief Public Relations Officer were also present on the occasion.
