Govt to revolutionise education sector in Telangana: Bhatti

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the government plans to invest Rs 80-100 crore in each integrated residential school, with each school spread over 25 acres of land, depending on availability.

Speaking to media at the Assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Vikramarka outlined the government’s ambitious plans to revolutionise the education sector. The plans include setting up one school in every village up to the third standard and one boarding school for every ten villages.

“Each mandal will have three integrated residential schools, providing free education up to class 10. The residential schools will offer transport to students who cannot stay overnight,” he said.

The Deputy CM expressed concern over the recent drug discovery at IIIT, Basar and assured that a detailed investigation would be carried out.

He emphasised the democratic approach of the state government, citing as an example the participation of two BRS members in the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting.

In a similar context, he alleged that senior IAS officer Smita Sabharwal’s comments on quota for disabled persons were personal in nature.
