Municipal Administration and Urban Development minister (MA&UD) KT Rama Rao said Education and Health have received top priority from the State government, with Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao putting more emphasis on these sectors.
This includes the development of 26,000 government schools at a cost of Rs 7,500 crore through the Mana Ooru Mana Badi programme. The programme provides twelve types of basic facilities to schools.
Former law minister Chelmeda Ananda Rao’s family built Malkapet Government Primary School on Friday, which was inaugurated by the Minister on Saturday.
During the occasion, Rama Rao showed his appreciation towards Chelmeda Laxminarsimha Rao, Ananda Rao’s son, for constructing the school and completing it before its academic year began.
The Minister instructed Collector Anurag Jayanthi to take steps to run the school as an example to attract more philanthropists to develop schools.
Rama Rao said he had been inspired by Chelmeda Laxminarsimha Rao to build a school at his birthplace, Konapur, at a cost of Rs 2 crore, adding that another school would also be constructed in Kodurupaka.
