Basheerbagh: Convener of Southern MRPS Dandu Veerayya on Monday demanded 25% reservations in all schools for dalits, girijans, BCs and minorities, as mandated by the Right to Education Act, 2009, and free primary education to all from this academic year.

Veerayya was addressing the members of the Dr BR Ambedkar Southern States Badi (school) Yatra, which reached the Ambedkar Statue at Lower Tank bund here. The yatra, which began on May 25, will conclude on June 11.

He alleged that the educational institutions mushrooming across the country were turning education into a business activity. The corporate institutions are yet to implement the 2009 RTE act and that the poor are being denied the quality education due to non-interference of the states despite being directed by the Supreme Court to enforce the act in corporate institutions.

Veerayya said the MRPS activists would stage dharnas at the collectorates in the South on June 10 to press the demands. G Yadayya, M Rajeshwar Rao, I Gopi, N Madhu, Veeranadh, Naresh, Bhaskar, Vishnu, Krishna, Mallesh and Vijayalakshmi were present on the occasion.
