Minister for IT and Industries, Duddilla Sridhar Babu and Shadnagar MLA K. Shankaraiah naugurating new building at Natco Zilla Parishad High School in Kothur, Shadnagar on May 7, 2025.

Minister for IT and Industries Duddilla Sridhar Babu called the Opposition parties’ criticism of government welfare schemes and initiatives as politically motivated and baseless, and questioned which government recruited 57,000 people within 15 months of coming to power in the country, if not for Telangana.

He said the government led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has successfully conducted recruitment of 57,000 posts in the government sector within the span of a year, which is a remarkable achievement at the national level. He questioned the credibility of those who failed to provide housing for the poor over the past decade, but now are criticising the current administration.

Speaking at the inauguration of a new building at Natco Zilla Parishad High School in Kothur, Shadnagar constituency, on Wednesday, the minister highlighted the government’s committed efforts to strengthen public education. Initiatives are underway to introduce digital classrooms across all government schools, with a clear objective to enhance academic standards through a structured, expert-driven approach.

He emphasised the goal of preparing students in government institutions to perform on a par with those in private schools. Additionally, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence are being integrated into the curriculum to ensure future-readiness.

Teachers, he said, have a key role in restoring public trust in government schools. Long-pending promotions for government teachers have been addressed, and specialised ‘Amma Committees’ have been established to oversee school operations.

Reaffirming the government’s commitment to inclusive development, he stated that Indiramma housing would be provided to all eligible beneficiaries in a phased manner. Shadnagar MLA K. Shankaraiah and representatives from Natco, including Lakshminarayana and P.S.R.K. Prasad were among present.
