He said the Chief Minister had directed the SP PHD Ramakrishna to investigate the case sincerely without sparing anyone. Narayana said there was significant development in Anganwadi and municipal schools with the new interventions. He noted admissions in schools managed by civic bodies rose by 15-20 per cent and some were even displaying no admissions boards.
He also said he would strive for rejuvenation of age-old VR College in city as a Nellorean. The minister also said majority population were migrating to urban and semi-urban areas and there had been stress on civic bodies to focus on providing basic amenities.
