Hyderabad: Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir said Telangana education reforms had become a key priority for the Congress government while addressing an annual day event in Kamareddy on Saturday.
He said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was directly monitoring the Education Department to improve standards. He alleged that the system had declined over the past decade due to lack of scholarships and pending fee reimbursements.
Shabbir Ali said dues worth Rs 3,500 crore were left unpaid during the previous regime. However, he added that the government was clearing these dues in phases. He said Telangana education reforms were focused on strengthening institutions and restoring support systems for students.
Shabbir Ali attended the Srinidhi Group of Colleges event as chief guest. During the programme, Shabbir ali distributed certificates to graduating students and watched cultural performances. Shabbir ali also congratulated students who excelled across academic and extracurricular activities.
Shabbir ali urged students to aim for top roles such as IAS and IPS officers. He said they should bring recognition to Kamareddy at national and global levels. Shabbir ali added that around 70,000 jobs had been provided so far under the Congress government.
