Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed the Education department officials to take steps to improve basic amenities in the government-run schools.
Improvement in the amenities should ensure that there is clear change in the functioning of the schools and instil confidence among the people on the State-run schools. Steps should be taken to provide electricity free of cost to all the government-run schools with immediate effect. The Chief Minister gave the directions during a review meeting with senior officials on the basic amenities in the government schools on Sunday.
He wanted the officials concerned to explore options for entrusting the responsibility of basic amenities as well as provision of school uniforms to students to women self-help groups. This was to ensure twin benefits of providing a helping hand to SHG women and ensuring that there were no lapses in the maintenance of amenities in the State-run schools.
