Following an order released by the government of Telangana regarding sanctioning of a Government Degree College in Rajendranagar area – that created confusion and led to an armed-wrestling between several organisations of Rajendranagar, Shamshabad and Gandipet mandals, the Commissioner of Collegiate Education now released a fresh order clearly specifying the location where the new institution will be set up from this academic year itself.
Allaying the confusion, the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, through its order dated June 21, has clarified that the new Government Degree College Rajendranagar will be set up in the premises of Zilla Parishad High School, Shamshabad under Rangareddy District and will be functional from this academic year itself.
The government, earlier this month, has issued an order sanctioning the Government Degree College in Rajendranagar without specifying whether the official communication meant Rajendranagar mandal or a constituency. This has led to a row between several organisations from Rajendranagar, Shamshabad and Gandipet mandals of the constituency.
As the order didn’t specified the name of any of the three mandals and only make a mention of Rajendranagar constituency, the organisations from different mandals were found throwing their hats into the ring as they started hopping around the MLA Rajendranagar only to persuade him to see the new institution will be establish in their respective areas.
Confused over the released order, the organisations in Rajendranagar mandal found themselves claiming that the institution was sanctioned specifically for Rajendranagar area as was mentioned in the official communication. They even formed a joint action committee to ensure the institution will be set up in the mandal.
However, the organisations from other mandals such as Shamshabad and Gandipet contested their claim stating that the order was not specifically meant for Rajendranagar mandal but for a suitable place anywhere in the entire Ranjendranagar constituency.
Pointing out that several highly esteemed research and academic institutions were already established in the Rajendranagar mandal purview, they demanded that the new Government Degree College should be set up in Shamshabad mandal under Rajendranagar constituency.
On June 21, the Commissioner of Collegiate Education released an order clearly mentioning that the new Government Degree College Rajendranagar will be set up in the premises of Zilla Parishad High School, Shamshabad under Rangareddy District and will be made functional from this academic year itself.
