The Young India Integrated Residential Schools being established by the Telangana government based on the concept of egalitarian education will set new benchmarks in the realm of education, making Telangana role model for the entire country, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said on Saturday.
As many as 105 Young India Integrated Residential Schools are being set up in the State with an outlay of Rs 21,000 crore, he said, adding that the main objective of these schools is to create exceptional human resources for society through outstanding intellectual development.
He was speaking after performing Bhoomi Puja for the Young India Integrated Residential School at Laxmipuram village in Bonakal mandal of Khammam district on Saturday.
He said, “These schools are being established as a brand of the Telangana government to provide quality education of international standards to lakhs of students and to groom them with extraordinary wisdom to enable them compete globally.”
He also slammed the previous BRS regime, accusing it of failing to implement its much-touted promise to provide free education from KG to PG during its nearly decade-long rule.
Earlier, the School Teachers’ Federation (STF) State president Devarakonda Saidulu and leaders of BC Employees’ Association felicitated Mr. Vikramarka at a programme in Khammam.
The leaders of the BC Association said that the caste census offers a solution to the centuries-old suppression of BCs.
