<drop_initial>Dear Chief Minister, our school lacks adequate security measures, leaving our belongings vulnerable to theft. We humbly request the recruitment of Class-IV employees to safeguard our school premises.”
This poignant appeal has surfaced from the corridors of a government school in Telangana’s Mahabubnagar district, penned by class 8 student N. Srinidhi.
G. Aravind, a student of another school in the same district, echoes similar concerns in his letter to the Chief Minister — need for improved infrastructure, mainly toilets with sweepers, running water for the toilets, better security, lab equipment, library resources, and transportation facilities for students from neighbouring villages.
