He also asked the Finance Minister to allow the state to borrow more money than usual to build new schools and improve old ones.
The new schools, called Young India Integrated Residential Schools, will have modern facilities and will benefit many students.

He also urged the Centre to sanction nine Kendriya Vidyalayas and 16 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in Telangana.
