Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s strong focus on education received praise from the Telangana Inter Education JAC. The JAC said education alone drives social progress and felt confident that government junior colleges could regain their past strength if these reforms continue. It appreciated the Chief Minister’s personal interest and his regular reviews on academic issues. The JAC requested more support for uniforms, mid-day meals and free bus travel for all Intermediate students next year.
The JAC criticised the former government for ignoring government colleges and allowing private institutions to operate without control. It noted that only 380 junior colleges existed at the formation of Telangana, with fewer than 60,000 students. It added that earlier governments announced free education for SC, ST and BC students but released only limited funds. The JAC said the new administration revived confidence in public education with several strong decisions.
It highlighted the recruitment of 1,300 lecturers through TGPSC and monthly facility maintenance grants for all junior colleges. The government also sanctioned ₹56.16 crore for infrastructure and repairs in 326 colleges. Special funds for lab upgrades and sports equipment improved academic conditions.
The JAC welcomed new systems like CCTV monitoring, online services, QR-coded hall tickets and the first state-wide mega parent-teacher meeting. It said these reforms created transparency and encouraged student support. The JAC also appreciated improvements in exam printing and revaluation systems.
