Minister of human resources G. Srinivasa Rao said that the state AP government was spending Rs 23,200 crore on the education sector, of which, Rs 5,000 crore would be spent on the development of basic amenities in government schools to turn AP into a knowledge and educational hub.
He asked the students to study with a burning desire to achieve knowledge and asked the teachers to make the students into future scientists, doctors, engineers, educators, researchers, industrialists and professionals who would serve the people and the country.
Minister for power Kala Venkata Rao lauded the efforts of Ramineni family, who live in foreign countries, for trying to encourage meritorious students of government schools with awards. The Foundation also strives to protect our heritage and culture, he said.
Minister for social welfare N. Ananda Babu said these days, the government educational institutions are also providing quality education on par with corporate schools and urged the public to join their wards in the state educational institutions. Awards were also presented to headmasters of government schools.
