Gandra demands urgent infrastructure overhaul in residential schools
Former Bhupalpally MLA Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy on Thursday visited the Minority Residential School and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. He was accompanied by BRS leaders and student representatives.
Reddy inspected campus facilities and pointed out poor sanitation, cracks in the Minority Residential School building, inadequate lighting, and the need for painting and repairs. At the KGBV, he appealed to the district administration to improve bathroom facilities for girls, install fans and lights in classrooms, and set up a dedicated reading hall.
He also urged authorities to carry out mosquito fogging, spread bleaching powder, and maintain hygiene during monsoon to prevent seasonal diseases. Reddy stressed the need to enhance educational standards and called on the government to ensure quality education and better infrastructure for residential school students.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telangana's residential schools, especially KGBVs, are meant to bridge the education gap for girls from marginalised communities. Poor infrastructure and sanitation directly affect attendance and learning outcomes, particularly for adolescent girls. The former MLA's visit signals political pressure on the district administration ahead of local body elections. The district collector's response in the coming weeks will indicate whether this translates into budget allocation or remains a political statement.
