Hyderabad: The Telangana government does not appear to be in a hurry to implement the KG to PG Free Education Scheme this academic year. According to official sources in Planning Department, it cannot be implemented without taking up a feasibility study.
At present, the government is busy in settling down. There are many issues which need to be sorted out. Even to constitute a team which would conduct a study and prepare feasibility report was not possible since the process of division of employees has not yet been completed. There was every possibility that some of the officers in the team might be allotted to Andhra Pradesh. Hence it would not be possible to take up the exercise at this juncture, officials told The Hans India.
On the other hand, civil society groups, which were greatly impressed by the KCR’s ‘Free Education Programme’, are disappointed that the government had failed to give top priority to the programme. “The government should have at least started it as pilot project by initiating it in a village and later spreading it to mandals,” said M Vedakumar, Chairman for Forum for Better Hyderabad and Telangana Resource Centre.
Stressing on improving the quality of education and implementing the scheme, All India Students Federation (AISF) state president Stalin demanded that the government should start working on modalities and constitute a committee by involving all the stakeholders so that it could at least be implemented from next academic year without fail.
