Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy questioned how the development of the country could be achieved without the development of minorities and Dalits. He said that the country will develop in all spheres only if equal opportunities are given to all sections of society.
He was addressing the National Education Day celebrations organized at Banjara Bhavan in Banjara Hills here on Wednesday in connection with Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s birth anniversary.
He said Azad has done a great job in strengthening the country’s education system and explained Azad played a key role in the formation of ITIs. He said that Azad’s contribution to the education of the poor in the country will always be remembered.
The Chief Minister said that the government is currently developing ITIs as advanced technology centres. Stating that there are many talented youngsters in the minority communities, he said a skill university has been set up to provide them with more opportunities.
He also wished the youth to excel in education and skill related fields.
Revanth Reddy said that the State government is committed to the welfare of minorities and is providing them houses under the Indiramma housing scheme. He said that Hyderabad should be seen as an original city but not as an old city.
He assured that the metro rail would be brought to the old city and added that Musi River is being treated as part of the development of the city.
