Human Capital Key To Telangana’s Vision-2047: Deputy CM
The Deputy Chief minister pointed out that even MLAs and ministers, who hold high constitutional positions, follow discipline by arriving early for Assembly sessions and marking attendance through face recognition and thumb impression: Reports
NALGONDA: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Wednesday said the State government is making massive investments in the education sector to create valuable human resources, which would help generate substantial wealth for Telangana.
Addressing officials during a review meeting at the Integrated District Offices Complex (IDOC) in Khammam, he said children, who are the future of the State, must be equipped to compete at the global level through quality education. The government has prepared a Vision-2047 document with the objective of transforming Telangana into a three-trillion-dollar economy. Creation of human capital is crucial to achieving this goal, he said, adding that large-scale investments are being made in education to build a skilled and productive workforce.
Stating that the State government has ensured a stress-free and influence-free work atmosphere for employees, he warned that zero tolerance would be adopted towards negligence in the discharge of duties, particularly in the implementation of welfare schemes.
He said every welfare and development scheme introduced by the government must reach the intended beneficiaries, and any lapse would not be tolerated. Improving the living standards of people is the core objective of the government, he asserted.
Urging officials and employees to be serious about attendance and performance of duties, the Deputy Chief minister pointed out that even MLAs and ministers, who hold high constitutional positions, follow discipline by arriving early for Assembly sessions and marking attendance through face recognition and thumb impression. He reminded employees that their salaries are paid from public taxes and that accountability to the people is essential. Each department has its own operational protocols, which must be strictly followed, he said.
Criticising the practice of indiscriminate student admissions in private educational institutions, he likened it to stocking goods in warehouses. He instructed officials to prepare a checklist of mandatory qualifications and facilities for private institutions and to grant permissions only after all requirements are fulfilled. Institutions lacking facilities should be immediately directed to upgrade them so they are ready by the next academic year, he said.
He reiterated the government’s commitment to welfare and said long-pending bills are being cleared regularly. He warned that action would be taken against concerned secretaries if bills are not prepared and submitted every three months, as already announced. He added that rents of educational institutions, mess bills and cosmetic charges are being paid on a regular basis.
The Deputy Chief Minister also suggested installing solar power plants on the buildings of all government institutions and promoting large-scale adoption of green energy.
Later, he made a surprise visit to the Telangana Tribal Welfare Girls’ Gurukul Degree College at Tanikella in Konijerla mandal. He had lunch with the students and interacted with them, enquiring about facilities and the quality of teaching. He also asked whether students were being guided for competitive examinations such as Group-I and Group-II and whether relevant study material was available in the library.
He further inspected the dining hall, cooking utensils and vessels.
