Telangana CM Seeks Central Support for Education
The Chief Minister of Telangana, A. Revanth Reddy, went to Delhi to talk to important government leaders.
He met with the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, and the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.
He gave them a document about Telangana's future plans and asked for special financial help for schools.
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.
The Chief Minister explained that this spending is an investment in the future of the state's children.
The Finance Minister liked the idea and asked for more details before making a decision.
Additionally, he requested the Education Minister to allow a new IIM (a famous business school) in Hyderabad.
The state has already found land and is ready to start the school right away.
He also requested more central schools in Telangana.
These meetings show that Telangana is working hard to get support from the central government for better education.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy met with Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Dharmendra Pradhan in Delhi.
He presented the Telangana Vision Document and requested exclusion of Young India Residential Schools from FRBM limits to borrow ₹30,000 crore.
Reddy asked for the establishment of an IIM in Hyderabad, with 200 acres of land already identified and a transit campus ready.
He also urged the Centre to sanction nine Kendriya Vidyalayas and 16 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in Telangana.
The YIIRS schools will cost ₹21,000 crore and will benefit 2.7 lakh students, with additional ₹9,000 crore for infrastructure in other educational institutions.
