Nehru saw country’s future in children, says Revanth
Hyderabad: As the nation celebrates Children’s Day to mark the birthday of India’s first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and minister Danasari Anasuya Seethakka shared messages for children on Nehru’s role as a leader who saw the country’s future in children.
In his tribute, Revanth Reddy remembered his contributions as a freedom fighter and Prime Minister. Taking inspiration from his ideals, Revanth Reddy said his government has taken steps to improve access to quality education for all. Government schools, he explained, serve as a foundation for families with fewer resources, helping to ensure that children from all backgrounds have equal opportunities.
To support such children, Revanth Reddy said his administration is providing two uniforms annually for every government school student, an initiative led by women’s self-help groups. Additionally, government reforms include free power for schools and new integrated residential schools across every constituency, aimed at giving quality education to those most in need.
Speaking on Nehru’s vision of a happy childhood for every child, minister Seethakka said Children’s Day stands as a reminder of Nehru’s hope for a society that values and supports its youngest members.
She also pointed out that he helped India build a strong position globally, with children’s welfare always a priority. Seethakka assured that her department is committed to advancing Nehru’s vision by ensuring access to education, healthcare, and safe spaces for children.
