The Telangana government’s decision to convert the present Osmania University College for Women, Koti, into a full-fledged women’s university has a direct link to the 46 women residential degree colleges started under the Social Welfare department by the Telangana government for SC, ST and BC communities.
“That seed has now borne the fruit and there is a huge influx from these colleges into PG courses. Many students from these colleges have topped the PG entrance exams in various subjects as well,” reveals R. Limbadri, Chairman, Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE). These colleges are now the source for academically strong girl students aspiring for PG courses, and in a way expediting the women’s university decision.
