Telangana’s higher education reform model has gained notable appreciation from the Government of Mizoram after the Director of Higher & Technical Education, Siva Gopal Reddy, held a detailed interaction with Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) Chairman, Prof. V. Balakista Reddy, on Monday. The meeting focused on understanding Telangana’s comprehensive and innovative education transformation strategy, which has been acclaimed for being data-driven, skill-oriented, and globally competitive.
During the discussion, the TGCHE Chairman presented an extensive overview of various academic reforms currently being implemented across the state. These included curriculum restructuring at the undergraduate level, integration of employability-based subjects, and the introduction of the “English Algorithm” — a communication development model designed to enhance language proficiency among students. The state has also prioritized research excellence through national and international collaborations, ushering in new research-focused initiatives such as the Telangana Journal of Higher Education.
Moreover, Telangana has made internships mandatory for students in order to strengthen real-world exposure and industry linkage. Reforms in governance, accountability, digital education, and the expansion of skill-based programs aligned with emerging market demands are also progressing rapidly. These measures are aimed at building a future-ready education ecosystem aligned with global standards.
Expressing admiration, Mizoram’s education official highlighted that Telangana’s approach reflects disciplined planning, evidence-based implementation, and strong policy fundamentals. He further stated that Mizoram intends to explore collaborative opportunities and consider Telangana’s model as a reference for strengthening its higher education delivery framework, particularly in areas of digital learning, Centres of Excellence, and quality assurance systems.
