KCR puts forth wish list at ISC meet
The Telangana government extended its support to all the initiatives for proper targeting and disbursement of subsidies and increasing use of Aadhar Cards in key government schemes.
New Delhi: The Telangana government extended its support to all the initiatives for proper targeting and disbursement of subsidies and increasing use of Aadhar Cards in key government schemes.
The Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao in his speech at the Inter-State Council (ISC) meeting held on Saturday said that Telangana was at the forefront in the use of Aadhar cards for disbursement of subsidies and benefits.
“We have 100% Aadhar coverage in Pre-matric and post-matric scholarships, RTA owners and drivers data base, 99% in social welfare pensions, 95% in MNREGA and we are at the top among all the States with 99.8% coverage in civil supplies,” said KCR.
With regard to education, he said that it has been the experience of the government that residential schools provide a better learning environment. There were 133 Residential Schools for Scheduled Castes, 45 for Scheduled Tribes, 26 for Other Backward Classes, 12 for minorities and 51 for general categories in Telangana.
It also has 269 Ashram Schools and 398 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas. After formation of Telangana, the government has sanctioned 103 Residential Schools for Scheduled Castes, 50 for Scheduled Tribes, 66 for OBCs and 71 for minorities, said KCR.
He said the government had also sanctioned 30 residential degree colleges for SC girls. Stating that the State also had 1892 hostels for SCs, STs, OBCs and Minorities, KCR said, “We get better results from students in these schools and the pass percentage is above 95% in High School and 85% in Intermediate.
A large number of students are getting selected in All India Services and institutions like IITs and NITs. Similarly, children in these schools are also excellent at extra-curricular activities. Recently 2 students created a record of climbing Mount Everest at the young age of 13 years,” said the Chief Minister.
He said that learning outcomes can be improved by improvement in recruitment process. Telangana has taken a decision to recruit teachers only through Public Service Commission with written test and demonstration of teaching aptitude sans any interview, said KCR.
