Kamareddy: No facilities, no students

Kamareddy: Aiming high is always good but implementation matters too. The TRS government opened Gurukuls to provide corporate education free of cost to poor students.But failed to provide all facilities in these schools.

But many residential or Gurukul schools across Kamareddy district are deserted without students. The reasons are many. Gurukuls being run in rented buildings, no infrastructure, insufficient space to accommodate all students, no free space for the students to read and sleep and so on.

After observing all these practical problems, most of the parents took their children back home.In fact, these problems are well explained to the authorities concerned but none took any measures to rectify them.

Mahatma Jyotiba Phule BC Gurukul School at Yerrapahad village, Tadwai mandal, Kamareddy district, is facing the same fate. Since there is no proper accommodation in this school, students went back. The Jyotiba Phule BC Gurukul was established in Tadwai mandal in 2017.

Since there was no proper building for hostel, it was set up in Kamareddy town. The authorities ran the school in Kamareddy for about three months.In September 2017, the then MLA Enugu Ravinder Reddy shifted the school to a rented building in Yerrapahad and the school was opened with classes 5, 6 and 7 with 243 students.

The building is inadequate for the students, causing them difficulties. To address the shortage of rooms, construction of another building was started but stopped unfinished. Eighth class started in the academic year of 2018, raising the number of students to 50.

The school was upgraded to ninth class during the present academic year. Now the total number of students reached 330, further messing up the already difficult situation.
