Hyderabad: The Union Cabinet on Friday approved the establishment of 28 Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVs) and 86 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) across India. Telangana emerged as a significant beneficiary, securing seven Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) in Jagtial, Nizamabad, Bhadradri-Kothagudem, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Mahbubnagar, Sangareddy, and Suryapet districts.
This achievement is being hailed as a testament to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's leadership and relentless advocacy for Telangana's development. On July 4 this year, Revanth Reddy and Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to submit a representation seeking the allocation of 24 NVs to the state. Their efforts bore fruit with this significant allocation. However, no KVs were sanctioned for the state.
The milestone marked a stark contrast to the decade-long tenure of the previous BRS government under former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, which failed to secure even a single Navodaya Vidyalaya for Telangana, a statement said.
Revanth Reddy's success came within just his first year in office, highlighting his administrative acumen and commitment to advancing the state's education sector.
The addition of these seven JNVs is expected to provide a transformative boost to Telangana's rural education infrastructure, offering talented students from underserved areas access to quality residential schooling.
