Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the Telangana government’s Young India Integrated Residential Schools initiative is a milestone to provide high quality education with international standards to promote holistic development of students.
On Saturday, he was addressing a rally after laying foundation stones for Young India International School and 33/11 KV substation and other development works worth ₹400 crore at Wyra town in Khammam district.
He said that a spacious integrated residential school building is being constructed in Wyra constituency with an investment of ₹ 200 crore on 20 acres as part of this pioneering initiative.
Referring to the Telangana government’s flagship initiative rooted in an egalitarian concept, he said education was the key to bringing about social change and overall progress. The government aims to set up at least one Young India Integrated School in every assembly constituency in the state.
₹ 30 crore has already been deposited in the district collector’s account for the construction of this school and the funds will be released every fortnight, he noted.
He said the previous BRS government “mismanaged” boarding schools where students suffered due to inadequate food and even cosmetic fees.
After coming to power, the Congress government increased the diet fees by 40% for each student and increased the cosmetic fees by 200% to benefit the students of government residential school and welfare hostels, he added.
He listed various developmental and social programs of the Congress government, including the latest initiative to distribute high-quality sarees to around one million women in the state.
Later, the Deputy Chief Minister performed a bhoomi puja for the construction of walls and leveling of ground for the Indira Mahila Dairy at Bonakal.
