The State Government will provide all facilities in State-run schools and offer quality education on par with private schools, said Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari.
Taking part in ‘Badi Baata’ (Back to school) programme at New Shayampet locality here on Thursday, he felicitated the students who scored good marks in the final exams and obtained a seat in the IIITs. The Badi Bata programme began on June 13 and is scheduled to conclude on June 20.
Mr. Srihari alleged that the previous governments failed to address the problems faced by the schools and there were no basic amenities. After the formation of Telangana, the Gvernment was focusing on education on priority by providing basic amenities, digital classrooms, introducing English medium teaching, and highly qualified teachers among others.

We are working towards making Warangal an education hub in the State,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.
