The Story in Brief
A former student of Zilla Parishad High School at M. Venkatayapalem in Khammam district has supplied RO drinking water daily for two years. Other alumni and retired teachers have donated a water fridge (Rs 25,000), dining tables (Rs 25,000), a kitchen room (Rs 70,000), a school gate (Rs 46,000), a sound system (Rs 50,000), and an electrical bell (Rs 10,000). The 1988-89 batch built a dais and arch. The headmaster said 175 students benefit from these contributions.
The Indian Opinion
This heartwarming story shows what community goodwill can achieve. Yet it also highlights a troubling pattern: government schools across Telangana still depend on alumni charity for basic needs like drinking water and kitchen facilities. The question is not whether donors are generous, but why the state's education budget fails to guarantee such essentials. Until every school has clean water and proper infrastructure, such anecdotes remain exceptions, not the rule.
