Revanth Reddy Launches 28 Schools
Revanth Reddy Launches 28 New Integrated Schools in Telangana
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy recently inaugurated 28 Young India Integrated Residential Schools across the state, laying the foundation stone for the Young India Integrated Residential School in Kongurg Mandal, Shadnagar constituency. At the event, Reddy took the opportunity to criticize former Chief Minister and BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR), raising questions about his priorities in the development of the state.
Revanth Reddy Criticizes KCR’s Priorities
In a fiery speech, Reddy lashed out at KCR for spending Rs 1,200 crore on constructing party offices and the new Telangana Secretariat, while neglecting much-needed investments in the state’s education sector, especially in residential schools located in rural areas. Reddy accused the BRS government of misusing public funds and focusing on self-serving projects, such as building “fortresses” on government lands.
Reddy stated, “KCR never saw education as a priority. He never tried to improve school infrastructure.” He further criticized KCR, claiming that KCR’s lack of attention to education is a deliberate attempt to prevent children from becoming educated, as educated individuals are more likely to question and assert their rights. “He only talked about giving sheep, buffaloes, and pigs to the weaker sections, while he wanted his son to become the minister and his daughter an MP,” added Reddy, accusing KCR of prioritizing personal and political gains over the welfare of the people.

Laying Foundations for 28 Integrated Schools Across Telangana
During the foundation-laying ceremony, Reddy announced the establishment of 28 new integrated residential schools, with each school capable of accommodating 2,500 students on 20 to 25 acres of land. The initiative aims to bring children from various castes and communities together under one roof, fostering unity and brotherhood.
Reddy emphasized that segregating students based on their caste or community creates division, stating, “If SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities are made to study separately, it fills poison in their minds. But if they study, eat, play, and sleep together, they will develop a spirit of brotherhood.” His vision for these integrated residential schools is to promote social harmony and equal opportunities for students, regardless of their backgrounds.
Rs 5,000 Crore Allocated for Residential Schools
Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, who was present at another foundation-laying ceremony in Laxmipuram, Madhira constituency, revealed that the Telangana government has allocated Rs 5,000 crore this year to construct the integrated residential schools. The schools are expected to be fully operational before the next academic year, providing modern educational facilities for students across Telangana.
Vikramarka contrasted the current government’s investment in education with that of the previous administration, noting that despite a Rs 3 lakh crore budget, only Rs 73 crore had been spent on improving school infrastructure during KCR’s tenure. This stark difference highlighted the Congress-led government’s commitment to transforming the education system in the state.
Remembering PV Narasimha Rao’s Vision
Revanth Reddy paid tribute to former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, who played a pivotal role in establishing the first residential school in Sarvail, Munugode, back in 1971. He proudly noted that many notable personalities, including former Director General of Police M Mahender Reddy and Education Secretary Burra Venkatesham, are alumni of the Sarvail residential school.
By laying the foundation stones for the 28 new integrated schools, Reddy aims to continue PV Narasimha Rao’s legacy and ensure that the youth of Telangana receive quality education, particularly in rural areas where educational opportunities have been limited.
