It is a blot on the Telangana State that despite leading in several sectors in the country, the State is backward as far as the literacy rate is concerned the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao opined.
This situation is due to the failure of the past rulers who have failed to educate and literate all the population. The Telangana State should get over this. Let us all take the pledge to make the State totally literate on the occasion of the new year. Every educated person should educate the uneducated.
During the Telangana Statehood movement, the entire population waged an emotional battle to achieve the goal. We could complete the Comprehensive Family Survey in one day.
With the same spirit and inspiration, let us all make efforts to turn the State totally literate state with cent per cent literacy.
The government will soon start an action plan for total literacy in the State. Everyone should become a stakeholder in this and help remove the bad name the state had in the literacy levels thereby making the Telangana State, a progressively inclined one,” the CM gave a call.
