This forceful thought in my mind became the seed that gave birth to the innovative <span style=\"color:#650010;\">STARS<\/span> Scheme&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #650010; text-align:right; font-style:italic;\">\u2013 <b>Dr. G.

On these lines, Our Beloved chancellor Dr. G. Viswanathan has taken several community development initiatives for the betterment of the society, and STARS (Support the Advancement of Rural Students Scheme) is one such philanthropic activity started in the year 2008. It aims at enhancing the rural students\u2019 quality of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent: 80px;\">Since 2008 rural students of Tamil Nadu have been admitted through STARS scheme. Each student\u2019s story is an inspiring story of change. Daily wage labourers and domestic helpers find it difficult to educate their children due to their unstable income and difficult living conditions. Their children who are academically brilliant, continue to live their lives in poverty like their families or settle down to basic jobs which satisfies neither their basic needs or their intellectual hunger. While many people in our society ignore these hard facts and go ahead with their lives, VIT Management Stands tall as it takes these children in its fold through the STARS scheme. Financially disadvantaged children don\u2019t have to stop dreaming of becoming an Engineer. VIT STARS Scheme helps these students from under-privileged background to achieve what they deserve by awarding them <b>100% fee waiver for their academic and hostel facilities including basic medical expenses.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent: 80px;\">The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri. N. Chandrababu Naidu had launched VIT \u2013 AP Stars Scheme while laying foundation stone to the VIT \u2013 AP campus in the capital city Amravati on 3rd November 2016. Through this scheme, from the academic year 2017-18 onwards one male and one female student, among those who studied from Government Junior Colleges located in rural areas in each district, will be selected and offered complete Free Education and Hostel Facilities to pursue their education at VIT -AP. The scheme was  implemented in the thirteen Districts of Andhra Pradesh namely Anantapur, Chittoor, East Godavari, Guntur, Kadapa, Nellore, Krishna, Prakasam, Kurnool, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and West Godavari.  Hence every year 26 students from 13 districts will be benefitted under VIT-AP STARS scheme.  In 2021, the scheme was extended to 26 districts of Andhra Pradesh, namely  Alluri Sitharama Raju, Anakapalli, Anantapuramu, Annamayya, Bapatla, Chittoor, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema, East Godavari, Eluru, Guntur, Kakinada, Krishna, Kurnool, Nandyal, NTR, Palnadu,  Parvathipuram Manyam, Prakasam, Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore districts, Sri Sathya Sai, Srikakulam, Tirupati,  Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram,  West Godavari,  YSR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent: 80px;\">The selected Students (STARS) are given admission to a B. Tech course in VIT- AP with 100 percent Scholarship covering free accommodation, food, healthcare and other academic facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent: 80px;\">VIT stands proud in giving high-quality education to the rural students of  Andhra Pradesh and provide the doorway for a good career, better social status and most importantly, fine tune them to be responsible citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:25px;  text-align:center; text-decoration:underline; color:#650010;\"><b>STARS Eligibility Criteria<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-group\">\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; Students who have taken Maths, Physics and Chemistry subjects alone are eligible under this scheme.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; This opportunity will be limited to one student in a family.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; The annual income of the family should be below Rs 1,50,000\/-.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; Only top five boy and girl students who have studied in junior colleges under rural panchayats are  selected for the scheme (Junior colleges located under Corporation, Municipality, Town panchayat  limits are not eligible).<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; The list of junior colleges eligible under the STARS scheme will be published in the University website <a href=\"www.vitap.ac.in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.vitap.ac.in.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"list-group-item\">&#10031; Such identified district toppers will be called for an interview based on marks secured in their Intermediate board examination.
