Chief Minister Revanth Reddy affirmed his government’s commitment to making Telangana a leader in the education sector. Speaking at the Dr. Marri Channa Reddy Human Resource Development Institute, he revealed that the state is allocating a substantial 9 percent of its budget to comprehensively strengthen the education sector. He stated that he is personally overseeing the Education Department not for the sake of electoral politics, but with the sole objective of shaping a bright future for children. He noted that while his predecessors chose to handle the Irrigation Department, he retained the Education portfolio himself. The CM remarked that the Kaleshwaram project championed by a leader who claimed to have read 80,000 books had collapsed, whereas his own priority lies in children’s education rather than infrastructure projects. He emphasized that the situation where lakhs of students graduate in engineering yet cannot draft a simple job application must be avoided, asserting that raising educational standards is their moral responsibility.
He expressed concern that placing children in hostels at a young age damages family bonds. He warned that children raised in isolation risk sending their parents to old-age homes when they grow up. He called upon teachers in schools to step into the role of parents and provide proper guidance to the students. As an alternative approach, he suggested formulating educational plans by treating each ‘Mandal’ as a distinct cluster. Overseas training for teachers…
It was announced that 10 to 12 teachers would be sent abroad annually on ‘study leave’ to ensure international standards in teaching. He noted that he personally oversees teacher promotions and transfers and pointed out that salaries are credited on the first of the month without the need for a request. Addressing his political journey in this context, he confidently stated, “I will remain the Chief Minister of this state until 2034; have no doubts about it.”
