Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao asserted that leaders should not give false hope to students about government jobs as there are very few in the state. He was making a statement on fees reimbursement in the Assembly. He agreed that it was the duty of the Government to impart quality education to the students.
“We have to guide students properly. Leaders shouldn’t give false hope about government jobs. In our state, there are only three lakh government employees, eight lakh IT employees. We can’t give government jobs to everyone,” KCR said.
He also found fault with the BED and DED colleges for generating teachers in large numbers and while they could not find any proper employment are going for dharnas and protests. They are being utilised by the opposition parties against the ruling party he said. Earlier it was TDP and Congress against each other on employment and now they are together against the TRS for employment he remarked in the Assembly.
He further said that government can easily afford two and a half thousand crore rupee reimbursement and urged them not to make an issue out of it.
“Our government has already paid Rs. 4688.82 crore since we came into government. We won’t create problem to students at any cost,” he said.
KCR said that the state has the highest residential schools for Schedule Caste and minority students.
“20 lakh we are giving to each student for them to study abroad which has never been done by any government,” he said.
“I spoke to engineering college managements. They expressed their problems on lab issues and staff inadequate problems. I suggested them to merge two or three colleges and run together. That is the reason the number of colleges have reduced,” he added.
He assured the members that quality education would be imparted to the students of all sections of the society and they will be made job worth and the quality of the education will be improved.
