Telangana setting new benchmark in quality education: Bhatti Vikramarka

Hyderabad, Nov 11 (UNI) Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu on Wednesday said the Congress government was committed to providing quality education from pre-primary to higher education and was setting new benchmarks through Young India Integrated Residential Schools and Telangana Public Schools.
Speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for a Telangana Public School in the Warangal West Assembly constituency on the occasion of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's birth anniversary and National Education Day, he said the Socio-Economic, Education, Employment, Political and Caste (SEEEPC) survey had highlighted education as a key factor in social and economic development.
Under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's leadership, the government was establishing 105 Young India Integrated Residential Schools, each spread over 20 to 25 acres with an investment of around Rs. 200 crore, besides setting up Telangana Public Schools in every Assembly constituency.
Explaining the residential school concept, he said students from all communities, including SCs, STs, BCs and minorities, would study and live together in an inclusive environment. The Telangana Public Schools, however, would be non-residential institutions.
He said students from pre-primary to Class 12 would receive free transport, breakfast, lunch for six days a week, textbooks, notebooks, bags and uniforms, besides digital education and trained teachers.
Paying tribute to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the country's first Education Minister, Bhatti said the occasion was significant as Azad had laid a strong foundation for the development of the education sector.
He added that the government was already providing nutritious breakfast to nearly 27 lakh students in government, Zilla Parishad, municipal and residential schools across Telangana through hygienic centralised kitchens, with meals delivered between 8.30 am and 9.30 am.
