Hyderabad District Collector emphasizes importance of education, encourages 100% classroom attendance, and supports public schools with investments.

Hyderabad District Collector Anudeep Durishetty on Thursday urged parents to ensure 100% classroom attendance for their children and encouraged students to pursue academic excellence with determination. 

Speaking to the students at Syed Murtuza Hussaini Memorial Government Upper Primary School at Langar Houz in Golconda, the Collector said the Telangana government has been prioritising public education by investing crores of rupees to improve infrastructure and learning outcomes in government schools. The Collector also distributed uniforms and books to the students.

“Education is the real jewel. No matter how much wealth one has, without education, it is meaningless,” he said, addressing students and parents. He pointed out that each student of a government school in the State benefits from government expenditure of over ₹1 lakh annually, covering uniforms, teacher salaries, midday meals, textbooks, notebooks, and workbooks.

He also appealed to parents to spread awareness about the facilities available at government schools and motivate them to enrol their children. “We want to see an increase in new admissions under the Badi Bata (Back to School) campaign,” he said.
