Hyderabad: The historic government school at Bottuguda in Nalgonda has undergone a major transformation, thanks to an ₹8 crore corporate-style revamp led by Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy through the Komatireddy Pratheek Foundation.
Now named Komatireddy Pratheek Government Primary and High School, the institution will reopen on January 27 as a modern campus. It includes smart classrooms, digital tools, a library, and child-friendly facilities aimed at fostering inclusive learning.
Telangana’s first government school with Waldorf-based teaching
In a first for the state, the school will adopt Waldorf-based pedagogy. This approach focuses on creativity, emotional intelligence, and experiential learning—offering a sharp shift from rote methods and exam-centric education.
Minister Venkat Reddy stated that public schools should match or exceed the quality found in private institutions. He added that this initiative reflects his belief in strengthening public education through bold investment and innovation.
Revamp bridges legacy and modern education
Bottuguda school, one of Nalgonda’s oldest institutions, faced years of infrastructure issues. However, the new campus marks a generational shift—combining historical significance with global education standards and modern design.
The Komatireddy Pratheek Foundation, established in memory of Venkat Reddy’s late son, continues to support education and public welfare across the district. This school now stands as its flagship project.
With the inauguration scheduled for January 27, the upgraded school is expected to draw public attention and is being hailed as a model for government school reforms in Telangana.
