Addressing on the occasion, Kodali Nani said the state government is implementing Nadu-Nedu programme for the development of infrastructure facilities in the government schools in the State. The programme aimed at developing the government schools in the State.
Nani said Rs.3,600 crore were spent in the first phase for the development of infrastructure facilities in 15,715 schools in the State and the second phase of Nadu Nedu programme started in 16,000 schools at a cost of Rs.4500 crore. Referring to the response from the parents to the government schools, Nani said six lakh children joined the government schools in the academic year.
He said Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to develop the government schools with objective of imparting quality English medium education and serving quality food to the children.
He said when the YSRCP government came into power over 45,000 government schools were facing many problems. There were no toilets, no cooking sheds, no drinking water supply and even the many school building slabs were in dilapidated condition. Keeping in view of the pathetic condition of government schools, CM Jagan decided to develop the schools under Nadu Nedu programme.
