Telangana: Bhatti Says Education Spending Is Investment In Future

Inspecting construction works at Laxmipuram in Khammam district, he said expenditure on education was an investment in future generations. He reiterated that the Congress government had accorded priority to education and welfare, and cited measures such as strengthening government schools and increasing mess and cosmetic charges, which he said were not revised during the previous BRS government’s nine-year tenure.

He directed officials to expedite construction of the school building and ensure completion within the stipulated timeframe. He said quality should not be compromised and asked officials to regularly supervise the works.

Officials informed him that the ‘G+1’ slab works for the administrative building and Blocks 2, 3 and 4 had been completed. Ground-floor slab work for Block 1 was in progress, while foundation work for three other blocks had been completed.

At Yadavalli in Mudigonda mandal, while laying the foundation stone for a 33/11 KV sub-station taken up at a cost of ₹3.15 crore, he stressed adherence to quality standards to ensure durability. He said the sub-station would help ensure uninterrupted power supply to surrounding villages.

Referring to road works in Mudigonda mandal estimated at ₹33 crore, he said improved transport facilities and better connectivity with national highways would follow upon completion.

He instructed officials to monitor all development works regularly to maintain quality standards and reviewed the status of construction of a 50-bed hospital building in Mudigonda.
