It is paying at least Rs 36,000 to each elementary teacher and spending nearly Rs 80,000 on each student on education, infrastructure, clothing and accommodation,” he added.
Earlier, Khan distributed cash prizes of Rs 10,000 each to meritorious girl students who scored GPA over 9.3. Speaking on the occasion Ghiasuddin Babukhan, Chairman of HZCT said, “The trust has spent over Rs 100 crore benefitting 7,55,000 across Andhra, Telangana and Maharashtra States.”
