Telangana BJP has hailed the agitation taken up by the students of IIIT-Basara, which it said, has forced an “adamant” government to concede their demands including appointment of a full-fledged vice chancellor, improving infrastructure and recruiting faculty on Tuesday.
Party spokesperson Rani Rudramadevi, in a media conference, congratulated the students on their relentless efforts and observed that it reminded one of the students’ role in struggle for separate state of Telangana movement to ensure the future generations get better opportunities.
But, as things stand now the education sector is worse off when compared to the scenario in the united Andhra Pradesh as it has been under total neglect and apathy under the TRS government for the last eight years. For example, Osmania University had 1,200 professors for 4,000 students in 80s whereas now it has 400 permanent staff of 20,000 students, 800 contract and 500 outsourced staff, she claimed.
