According to GO No. 4 dated June 18, 2024 issued by secretary to government K. Harshavardhan, the Jagananna Vidya Deevena is being renamed as Post Matric Scholarship RTF. Jagananna Vasathi Deevana will be called Post Matric Scholarship MTF.

In the first lot, names of welfare schemes pertaining to education of students have been renamed. In the days to come, many other schemes will be renamed.
