7,000 Telangana students studying abroad on overseas scholarship scheme: KTR

Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao stated that approximately 7,000 students from the state are studying abroad by getting benefits under the overseas scholarship scheme.

As education was the only weapon for overcoming poverty, the state government, led by Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, prioritized education and established 1,000 gurukulam schools to provide quality education to SC, ST, BC, Minorities, and the poor among OCs. There were also 204 minority residential schools established.

While Rs 1.20 lakh is spent on each student per year, Rs 6,000 crore is spent on school maintenance each year. Recalling some comments that Muslim girls would not attend school, Rama Rao stated that separate schools for girls were also established to provide minority girls with school and college education. On Monday, the Minister inaugurated a Shadikhana built with Rs 1.10 crore MLA funds in Sircilla town on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, Rama Rao stated that after the formation of a separate Telangana, the Chief Minister was working for the welfare of all sections of society, regardless of caste or religion. Chandrashekhar Rao has always treated people as human beings, never engaging in politics based on caste or religion. Furthermore, the Chief Minister has implemented various welfare schemes that are open to all citizens regardless of caste or religion. Everyone, from newborns to the elderly, were getting benefits in one or other schemes being implemented in the state.

He stated that there would be no discrimination based on caste, religion, group, or political party in providing benefits under welfare schemes, and that eligibility was the only benchmark for receiving benefits. A medical college, nursing college, agriculture college, agriculture polytechnic college, JNTU colleges were sanctioned to Sircilla during the last eight and half years. Instead of making baseless allegations, opposition parties should win the minds of the people by explaining what they had done for the public, Rama Rao advised.

Later, the Minister took part in the swearing in ceremony of the Sircilla press club committee, laid the foundation for Ragudu junction development works and the bypass road central light system. In the morning, Rama Rao inaugurated a digital classroom in Jillell government school and Palle Davakana in Jillella of Thangallapalli mandal.
