Welfare hostels in A.P. lack basic facilities: YSRCP leader
Speaking at a press conference, Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna said that students were being forced to adjust to a substandard food menu, lack of basic facilities and blankets.
He said: 'The alliance changed the old food menu, ignoring the quality of food chart that was adopted by the previous government. As a result, the number of incidences of students falling ill seriously has risen significantly.'
Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna further alleged that the hygiene in the welfare hostels is inadequate and does not provide a safe environment for students, from the Below Poverty Line.
'The maintenance of the Scheduled Castes Welfare Hostels is even worse when compared to the other hostels. This neglect will adversely affect the academic performance of students,' Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna added.

CMRF cheques worth Rs 72 lakh distributed
Kondapi: Social Welfare Minister Dr Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy strongly criticised YSRCP for allegedly spreading 'poison' against the coalition government's welfare initiatives. He distributed Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF) cheques worth Rs 72 lakh to 83 beneficiaries from Kondapi assembly constituency, at his camp office in Turpu Nayudupalem on Sunday. Speaking on the occasion, the minister praised Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for saving lives through CMRF assistance and providing healthcare support to the poor through large-scale cheque distributions. He said that the government is doing good work for people, but YSRCP is spewing venom against it. He highlighted the improvements in welfare hostels, noting that the coalition government has spent Rs 143 crore on hostel repairs within a year of coming to power, with 80 per cent of the work completed. The minister criticised the previous YSRCP government for neglecting hostel maintenance and questioned whether former CM Jagan ever considered student welfare during his five-year tenure. He announced plans to provide quality meals with fine rice and cosmetic kits containing 11 items to welfare hostels and Gurukula students. He stated that special medical officers have been appointed in each district for student healthcare, with over 20 students' lives saved through specialised treatment during the last academic year.
