Young India Education Plan Launched by Telangana CM Revanth Reddy
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has introduced his personal development initiative, Young India, calling it his lasting identity. Speaking at the launch of the Young India Police School in Hyderabad, he said the brand reflects his focus on health, education, and employment.
He dismissed critics who claimed he lacked a unique political identity. According to Revanth, the brand draws inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi and aims to strengthen the voice of India’s youth.
Vision Behind Young India
The CM highlighted that leaders are remembered for their impact. For example:
- NT Rama Rao introduced affordable rice for the poor.
- N Chandrababu Naidu developed Hyderabad’s IT sector.
- YS Rajasekhara Reddy became a symbol of farmer welfare.
“Today, I have created the Young India brand,” said Revanth. “It stands for the future of this nation.”
Focus on Public School Development
The Telangana government plans to set up Young India Integrated Residential Schools in every Assembly constituency. These schools will offer a high-quality learning environment.
In addition, the government will launch pre-schools across the state. Children attending these schools will receive free transportation and nutritious meals.
However, the CM expressed concern over the current education gap.
- 29,500 government schools serve only 18 lakh students.
- Meanwhile, 11,500 private schools enroll 36 lakh students.
“This shows a serious imbalance,” Revanth said. “We must rebuild trust in government education.”
Sustainable Development in Major Projects
Officials also addressed concerns about ecological damage from large-scale development. They stated that major projects often support ecological growth. For instance, the Apple campus in the US helped create green spaces and a sustainable environment.
They confirmed that Telangana projects follow the Water, Land and Trees Act (WALTA). They also comply with rules set by the Pollution Control Board. Officials clarified that the land under review was not designated as forest.
A Central Empowered Committee (CEC) visited the site, held discussions, and has now returned to Delhi. The team will submit a report to the Supreme Court soon.
