Hyderabad: Two girl students received their educational documents after CM Prajavani helped them recover certificates withheld by school authorities in Ghatkesar mandal. Telangana State Planning Council Vice-Chairperson Gadwal Vijayalakshmi intervened after the students complained that their school refused to release their certificates.
Vijayalakshmi, who also serves as the CM Prajavani State-level In-charge, personally handed over the documents during Friday’s programme. The students, Ushashree of Class X and Urshitha of Class VII, had approached CM Prajavani seeking assistance.
They alleged that Nalla Malla Reddy Foundation School in Narapally, Ghatkesar mandal, withheld their certificates despite payment of fees. Their complaint prompted Vijayalakshmi to contact senior School Education Department officials and seek immediate action.

Following the complaint, Vijayalakshmi contacted School Education Regional Joint Director Somireddy and directed him to secure the documents. She also wrote to Education Department Principal Secretary Yogita Rana, requesting necessary action against the withholding of certificates.
Acting on the directions, Somireddy visited Nalla Malla Reddy Foundation School and obtained the students’ educational records. The documents included Transfer Certificates, Bonafide Certificates, Conduct Certificates, Migration Certificates and marks memos.
Somireddy subsequently handed over the certificates to Vijayalakshmi, who personally delivered them to Ushashree and Urshitha. The intervention enabled both students to recover certificates withheld by school authorities following their complaint to CM Prajavani.
The girls and their family members expressed gratitude to Vijayalakshmi for helping secure the documents. Addressing the issue, Vijayalakshmi said educational institutions had no right to endanger students’ futures by withholding certificates.
She maintained that schools should not use fee-related or administrative disputes to deny students access to their educational records. Further, she warned that the Telangana government would not tolerate violations of students’ rights.
Vijayalakshmi also urged Education Department officials to ensure that similar incidents did not occur. She stressed the need to protect students’ educational interests and prevent institutions from withholding essential documents.
