Municipal Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao said that Telangana achieved an unparalleled record establishing more than 1,000 new residential schools in the last nine years for the poor and downtrodden sections.

“Be it school education, higher education, technical education, or medical education, Telangana is setting a new benchmark in terms of quality of education and infrastructure,” he said. Highlighting that the BRS government under the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao empowered Telangana with the highest number of Gurukuls in India, he said the total figure of BC, SC, ST, and Minority Gurukuls put together is at 1000 plus. This includes residential schools, junior colleges, and degree colleges.

The BRS working president stated that every year, ₹1.25 lakhs is spent on each student in these Gurukuls to impart quality education, to provide nutritious food, accommodation, and other facilities.
