Govt prod to Gurukul schools on results
Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari, who also holds Education portfolio, on Thursday said Gurukul institutions and model schools under the Education Department should achieve 10/10 grade point average (GPA) and 100 per cent results by availing the required cooperation and help from the government.
Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari, who also holds Education portfolio, on Thursday said Gurukul institutions and model schools under the Education Department should achieve 10/10 grade point average (GPA) and 100 per cent results by availing the required cooperation and help from the government.
Srihari criticised that National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre for failing to launch new scheme and cancelling model schools, despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi making much hype on ‘Beti Padhao and Beti Bachao’ scheme. He launched the annual programme of principals of Gurukul institutions and model schools at IPARD in Prof Jayashankar Agriculture University at Rajendranagar here.
On the occasion, the Deputy Chief Minister alleged that instead of giving impetus to such institutions, the Modi government cancelled the existing schemes and reduced funds. Since 1,25,000 students were studying in 194 model schools, the State government was spending Rs 218 crore a year for the purpose though the Centre annulled them, he said. Keeping education for 90 per cent of SC, ST, Minorities and poor children in view, the government had launched 544 Gurukul schools.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was determined to provide them with better education with quality and standards by offering Rs 11,000 crore that was around Rs 23 crore on each institution, Srihari remarked. The Chief Minister promised to provide them better education by spending huge funds, he said. The principals of these two institutions should focus on achieving 10/10 GPA which counted for the results to achieve 100 per cent results, the Deputy Chief Minister said.
He further said the government spent Rs 245 crore for providing education to 18,000 students in 37 Gurukul institutions. In addition to six Gurukul schools upgraded as junior colleges this year, 29 more would be upgraded next year and Chandrashekar Rao sanctioned one Gurukul each for boys and girls in 31 districts and they would be doubled next year and will get 39 more Gurukul schools, he said.
Problems of service rules of model schools would be resolved soon as they came under CPS purview now, he said. The principals should treat students as own children and give them best education and standards so as to achieve top ranks in NEET and JEE type of examinations. The government would give Haritha awards to schools for achieving such goals, he added.
