KG to PG free education to be launched from June
The much-hyped KG-to-PG scheme is all set to be launched from this academic year in June with a total of 250 new educational institutions under Gurukul model, according to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
Hyderabad: The much-hyped KG-to-PG scheme is all set to be launched from this academic year in June with a total of 250 new educational institutions under Gurukul model, according to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
The Chief Minister disclosed this after laying foundation stone for installation of a 125ft tall Ambedkar Statue at Hill Rock area on NTR Gardens premises here.
Speaking on the occasion, KCR took potshots at the Opposition parties for criticising the government on the delay of the KG-to-PG scheme. “Some leaders and others spoke nonsense on the issue and the government was determined to launch the programme,” KCR said.
“Though the successive governments ignored the plight of the Dalits, STs, Minorities and Backward Classes, the TRS government will do its best to provide them all amenities, facilities and jobs to protect their rights,” he said.
Responding to Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari’s appeal, KCR announced that 100 institutions for Dalit girls, 25 for residential degree colleges for Dalits and the rest for others would be launched this June or a month later.
“We have already announced 75 minority institutions and a total of 250 institutions under KG-to-PG scheme which will begin now”, he reiterated.
