Telangana expartiates to contribute for Tech education

The expatriates of Telangana are ready to pay back to Telangana society by contributing significantly to improving technical education.

Eminent professor Junuthula N. Reddy of the prestigious Texas A&M University said the government should attract them with good academic positions and grant them total independence of functioning.

Prof. Reddy was recently elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) – the highest professional distinction extended to an engineer in the USA .

Welcoming Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s initiatives in weeding out “non-serious” educators, Prof. Reddy said quality institutions built by the Birlas and Tatas continue to thrive, while new private institutions churn out “mediocre products”.

The problem, he said was the “entry of politicians” into the education system, adding that colleges need periodic reviews and punishment to keep the tempo up. The lack of “good teachers” affects even the brightest of students and it is reflected among those coming to US for higher studies. Reddy's books are now part of engineering education in India.
