Hanamkonda: Kakatiya University (KU), Warangal, student activists have raised concerns over them not getting nominated posts and assistance though they played a crucial role in the second phase of the Statehood movement.

During a press conference held at SDLCE on the KU campus here on Tuesday, they appealed to Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to recognise their efforts by offering posts and implementing a student package similar to that of Uttarakhand. They lamented that they have been facing various challenges due to a lack of recognition and financial difficulties.
