In a bid to provide inclusive growth for children belonging to backward classes, the Telangana government on Thursday gave a verbal assurance that there would be as many as 119 residential schools established in the state for children belonging to backward classes.

The government would not only focus on education alone but also augment school infrastructures and provide healthy and nutritious food for the poor children.

“These schools will be established in the name of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, who made efforts continuously for the upliftment of BCs,” Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said in a statement in the Legislative Assembly.

It has been confirmed that the government would spend Rs 1, 05,000 to Rs 1, 25,000 on each student to provide proper infrastructure, nutritious food among others.

Education would be imparted with high standards in English medium in BC residential schools from class 5 to intermediate (plus two), he said.

“For this purpose, we have already established the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Telangana Backward Classes Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society,” he added.
