Kurnool: Officials told not to compromise on quality in school works

Kurnool: District Collector G Veera Pandiyan said that the Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy with an aim to create a vibrant atmosphere along with all facilities to the students pursuing education at the government schools, is allocating lion's share of funds under Manabadi, "Naadu-Nedu" scheme.

He is also pursuing the ongoing developmental works regularly with the concerned officials, stated the district collector.

The collector accompanied by joint collector Rama Sundar Reddy conducted a review meeting on the progress of developmental works taken up at the government schools under Manabadi "Naadu-Nedu" programme with the officials concerned at Sunaina Auditorium here on Friday.

But the state government has changed the face of government schools by taking up developmental works under Manabadi, Naadu-Nedu scheme on par with corporate schools. He said the officials concerned would complete the works without compromising on quality and at the given point of time.
