Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said Osmania University deserves admiration, not fear. He visited OU and explained that his government plans to upgrade the 108-year-old institution to international standards. He recalled that Telangana’s early movement began on this campus and noted that its spirit still inspires students today. He added that he came with a ₹1,000-crore commitment to reshape the university.
During the event, he rejected a prepared script and chose to speak from his experience. He said students should grow into lawyers, doctors, IAS officers and intellectuals. He described his rural background and said it shaped his understanding of people’s lives. Moreover, he assured that the government will develop the campus by including student and expert suggestions.
Revanth Reddy also highlighted social justice issues. He stressed that true development begins when the poorest receive real opportunities. He pointed to past failures in land distribution and questioned leaders who built large farmhouses while many Dalit families lacked basic resources. He reminded students that OU produced several national icons, including PV Narasimha Rao and Gaddar.
Furthermore, he said education brings progress, equality and dignity. He explained new projects such as Young India Integrated Schools and Young India Sports Schools. He said these institutions aim to create future champions and prepare students for global success.
