Complete tender process for supply eggs to residential schools; stay there for at least a day a week: Telangana Ministers to Collectors
Telangana district collectors were directed to stay at residential schools for at least a day in a week to check the maintenance of the amenities. They were asked to complete the tender process for supply of eggs at the earliest. Ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, Konda Surekha and Adluri Lakshman Kumar held a video conference with the collectors on Tuesday (July 22, 2025). They reviewed the implementation of Indiramma Indlu, Bhu Bharati, basic amenities in residential schools, Mahalakshmi scheme and other programmes. The Ministers were particular that there was no compromise in the quality of food that was being supplied to students of residential schools. Officials concerned should regularly conduct inspections on the amenities in these institutions to get first hand information. Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao instructed the collectors to further improve the quality of food in line with the hike in the diet charges effected by the government. In addition, they should ensure that basic amenities were provided in all these schools to not give scope for any complaints and avoid inconvenience to the boarders. Steps should be taken to ensure sanitation in the institutions as well as protection of the green cover, and convene meetings with the parents committees once in a month. They have directed collectors to play a proactive role in ensuring that the benefits of the flagship schemes launched in the State effectively reached the beneficiaries at the grass root level. About the Indiramma houses, collectors were directed to take steps to see that all eligible families were covered under the scheme and efforts should be made to expeditiously complete the construction of these houses. Steps should be taken to see that there was no shortage of sand required for the construction of Indiramma houses. It was the responsibility of the district administration to ensure that beneficiaries were not put to difficulties in transporting the sand. The State Government had decided to review the progress of Indiramma houses once a week through video conference, the Ministers said directing the districts' administration to resolve the complaints registered through Bhu Bharati speedily.

BC reservations are historic, says Cong leader
Hyderabad: Sircilla district Congress leader Nevuri Venkat Reddy stated that the ordinance to be issued by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's government, providing 42% reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) in local bodies, will go down in history. He addressed the media on Wednesday at the MLA Colony, Road No. 12, Banjara Hills. He said that despite the good work being done by CM Revanth Reddy, opposition leaders are resorting to protests and demonstrations, which should now come to an end. He remarked that although many governments have come and gone in the past, none could determine the exact population of BCs. However, under the initiative of CM Revanth Reddy and PCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud, a comprehensive BC caste census was completed, as per the directive of Rahul Gandhi. With this census completed, the entire country is now looking towards the 'Telangana Model,' he said. He further mentioned that with 42% reservations in local body elections, the BC community would be indebted to the Congress government and that it would open up significant political opportunities for them. He criticized the opposition parties for spreading misinformation and said that the BRS party, which was in power for ten years and did nothing for the BCs, is now engaging in new dramas in the name of protests and agitations. He concluded by stating that ever since the Congress party came to power, many beneficial schemes have been implemented for the poor — such as free electricity, Rythu Bharosa (Farmer Support), Mahalakshmi Scheme, subsidized gas, and fine rice distribution — and that these schemes are being well-received by the public.
