Hyderabad: Telangana deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka announced on Sunday, October 6, that the state government will construct Young India Integrated Residential Schools at a budget of Rs 25,000 crore.
The foundation for the schools will be laid on the eve of Dasara across Telangana. “All schools will be constructed on 20-25 acres of land. Education up to class 12 will be provided in these,” the Telangana deputy chief minister stated.
So far, 25 constituencies have already provided land details for these schools, with others to follow soon.
