Centre’s bias against TS in education sector too: KTR

TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has alleged that the Centre has heaped injustice on Telangana in case of education sector along with other sectors by not keeping the promises made to the State during its formation. Speaking to heads of educational institutions and teachers associations here on Monday, he highlighted the progress of education sector in Telangana under the TRS government. He stated that the government had established 672 residential schools to provide quality education to the students belonging to marginalised sections since 2014. He explained that the State government was spending about ₹1.2 lakh on each of 4.3 lakh students studying in the 970 residential educational institutions in the State. Further, ₹350 crore was allocated for construction of buildings to 240 residential schools/colleges and extending post-matric scholarships to about 15 lakh students.
