Forced Labor in Gurukuls: Student Unions Demand Principal's Suspension in Itikyala
Gadwal: A shocking incident has come to light from the Social Welfare Gurukul School in Itikyala Mandal, where students are reportedly being forced to perform menial labor such as cleaning bathrooms, toilets, and utensils—tasks assigned by none other than the school principal. This blatant exploitation led to student union leaders submitting a formal complaint to the District Collector at the Gadwal District Collectorate today, demanding immediate suspension of the Itikyala Gurukul principal involved in the alleged forced labor practices. 'Forcing Students into Menial Labor is a Crime' – BRSV State Leader Kurva Pallayya Addressing the media, Bharat Rashtra Samithi Vidyarthi (BRSV) State Leader Kurva Pallayya strongly condemned the incident. He stated: "Forcing minor students—most of whom are under 18—into activities such as cleaning toilets and utensils is a legal offense under child labor laws. Gurukul schools are meant to educate and empower underprivileged children, not subject them to bonded labor and humiliation." He further demanded the immediate suspension of the concerned principal and strict disciplinary action. Recurring Violations Across Institutions Kurva Pallayya also reminded that this is not an isolated incident. Just days ago, a similar case was reported at Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Gurukul School near Alampur Chowrasta, where students were forced to engage in cleaning tasks due to lack of support staff and inadequate infrastructure. 'These repeated incidents show a failure of the state education administration. Parents send their children to these schools hoping for quality education and dignity—not for them to become victims of exploitation,' Pallayya said. Negligence and Lack of Basic Facilities in Hostels Student leaders also highlighted the lack of basic amenities in hostels, not just in Itikyala or Alampur, but across several Gurukuls, KGBVs (Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas), and welfare hostels in the district. They urged the District Collector to: Immediately investigate all residential educational institutions in the district Ensure deployment of adequate support staff to prevent burdening students with manual chores Upgrade and provide basic facilities such as sanitation, clean water, and kitchen infrastructure Leaders Who Filed the Complaint The delegation that met with the District Collector included: Kurva Pallayya – State Leader, BRSV & District Coordinator, Jogulamba Gadwal, Haleem Pasha – District President, PDSU Danayya – District President, PYL Rangaswamy – Assistant Secretary, USFI They have warned that if appropriate action is not taken swiftly, state-wide protests will be organized by student unions in solidarity with affected students. Call for Government Accountability The leaders also criticized the Congress-led state government, accusing it of neglecting the needs of students and failing to monitor the functioning of welfare institutions. They claimed that students are being pushed out of classrooms and onto the streets due to lack of basic dignity and facilities. 'The government must treat these issues with utmost seriousness if it wants to prevent the collapse of public trust in residential education systems,' said Haleem Pasha. Awaiting Collector's Response As of now, the District Collector has acknowledged receipt of the complaint. Further action, including an official inquiry or suspension of the principal, is expected soon. Student unions have vowed to continue their fight until justice is served and conditions improve for all students across the district.

BRSV Stages Protest in Gadwal Demanding Immediate Release of Fee Reimbursement and Scholarships.
Gadwal: Under the leadership of Bharat Rashtra Samithi Vidyarthi (BRSV) State Leader and Jogulamba Gadwal District Coordinator Kuruvu Pallayya, a massive protest rally was organized at Krishnaveni Junction in Gadwal town on Thursday. The rally was held to demand the immediate release of pending fee reimbursement and scholarship amounts that are allegedly being withheld by the Telangana state government. Addressing the gathering, Kuruvu Pallayya expressed deep anguish that even after nearly 1.5 years since the formation of the new government, the Revanth Reddy-led administration has failed to clear the dues related to student welfare schemes like scholarships and fee reimbursement. He accused the government of discrimination against poor and marginalized students, stating that the delay was severely impacting their access to higher education. He said students from both government and private institutions are being forced to pay fees in advance due to government negligence, which contradicts the very essence of public welfare. Highlighting the lack of basic facilities in government educational institutions, Pallayya also criticized the Union Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the corporatization of the education sector has intensified under his regime. Kuruvu Pallayya went on to list a series of broken promises by the Congress government, including: Creation of 2 lakh jobs within the first 100 days Allocation of 15% of the budget for the education sector Direct financial assistance to SC/ST students based on qualifications: ₹10,000 for SSC pass ₹15,000 for Intermediate pass ₹25,000 for Degree pass ₹1 lakh for PG pass ₹5 lakhs for PhD pass He labeled these assurances as blatant lies and betrayals of the youth. He further alleged that students, particularly from economically weaker and middle-class families, are struggling to continue their education due to non-receipt of fee reimbursement and scholarship funds. Many are unable to collect their original certificates like Transfer Certificates (TCs) from colleges due to unpaid dues, thereby dropping out of higher education despite securing good ranks in entrance exams. Highlighting the plight of hostel students, he criticized the government for failing to increase hostel mess charges and cosmetic allowances in line with rising costs. Students are reportedly suffering from malnutrition due to poor-quality food, and living in cramped hostel rooms due to the lack of proper infrastructure. The protest leader strongly condemned the government's discriminatory treatment toward the 1,023 Gurukul (residential) institutions, most of which cater to underprivileged communities. He demanded: Immediate cancellation of GO No. 29, which he claimed was hindering Group-1 recruitments Implementation of GO No. 55 for job appointments Allocation of funds to improve infrastructure and food quality in Gurukul schools He cited recent incidents to highlight the alarming state of affairs: Students of Uyyalawada Gurukul were hospitalized due to food poisoning Students from Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Gurukul in Alampur constituency staged protests complaining of insects in food, lack of drinking water, and unhygienic bathrooms He accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of deliberately neglecting Gurukul institutions, allegedly because they were introduced by former CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), thus engaging in political vendetta at the cost of student welfare. The protest concluded with a stern warning: If the government fails to release the pending fee reimbursement and scholarship funds immediately, BRSV will launch a large-scale agitation and lay siege to the Secretariat. Several student leaders and activists participated in the rally, including Maz, Madhav, Chinna, Jahangir, Afrid, and hundreds of students from various institutions. This protest reflects a growing dissatisfaction among student communities across Telangana regarding delays in welfare schemes, deteriorating infrastructure, and unmet promises by the current administration. With the academic year in progress and many students caught in financial limbo, the situation may escalate further if remedial action is not taken swiftly.

Revanth acting as proxy for Naidu, says KTR
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused chief minister A Revanth Reddy of acting as a proxy for his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu and surrendering Telangana's rights over Godavari water through the Banakacharla project. Speaking at the state-level BRSV conference held at Mallapur on Saturday, KTR said that this is a deliberate conspiracy to divert surplus Godavari water away from Telangana. Questioning the silence of the Centre on Telangana's share in Godavari water, KTR demanded that the Union govt immediately clarify Telangana's rightful share in the surplus and dependable water of the Godavari River. "Of the 3,000 TMCs of surplus Godavari water, 950 TMCs must be allocated to Telangana. Similarly, of the 1,486 TMCs of dependable flows, 968 should be given to Telangana," he asserted. Stating the Bankacherla project is illegal, KTR said the constructionhas been taken upwithout the required approvals from the central water commission, Polavaram project authority, or apex council. He warned that BRS will not remain silent as Telangana's political identity and water rights are trampled upon.

He also attacked the deteriorating law and order situation in Telangana, accusing the Revanth-led govt of misusing police machinery to harass BRS leaders and student activists who question the administration. Recalling the developmental achievements under former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's leadership, including the Kaleshwaram project, record welfare schemes, highest per capita income growth, and massive expansion in education and health infrastructure, KTR warned that these hard-earned gains are now under threat due to the misrule of the Congress. He urged the student community to continue exposing the injustice of Banakacharla and to take the fight to every college and university through awareness campaigns and petitions. "BRSV is not just a student wing, but a frontline force defending Telangana's rights, and that future leaders will emerge from these youth-led struggles," he said.

KTR, Harish tell BRS students wing to educate people on injustice to TG on river waters issue
Senior leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) have asked the student wing leaders of the party (BRS Vidyarthi) to educate the youth and people on how Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party and Telugu Desam Party have been lying about the Polavaram-Banakacherla Link Project (PBLP) being taken up by Andhra Pradesh at the cost of Telangana's rights. Giving a PowerPoint presentation to the members of BRSV on Kaleshwaram and PBLP at the meeting here on Saturday, working president K.T. Rama Rao and senior leader T. Harish Rao said the responsibility of educating people, particularly the student community and the youth is on BRSV., and reminded them how students and youth had played a key role in the statehood movement. They explained to the BRSV members how party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao had encouraged youth in politics and how he, as the Chief Minister, had achieved 95% quota to Telangana youth in jobs by getting the Presidential Order amended. Stating that the commitment of Mr. Revanth Reddy to Telangana was exposed in his refusal even to utter 'Jai Telangana' slogan, they alleged that the Chief Minister is trying to erase the memories of Statehood movement. With the help of the PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Harish Rao explained to them how the Pothireddypadu Head Regulator and Banakacherla Cross Regulator are proving to be a death knell to the river water interests of Telangana. He sought to know when there was no clarity on the assured water in Godavari Basin, how can A.P. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu say that they would only utilise floodwater. Mr. Rama Rao said despite getting 18 clearances and permissions to utilise 240 tmc ft with Kaleshwaram project, the Naidu government had opposed it along with other projects by writing several letters to the Centre and other agencies. He had also opposed 967 tmc ft assured water of Godavari to Telangana, Mr. Rama Rao said, and added that Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao had written to the Centre in 2020 itself seeking 1950 tmc ft water out of an average 3,000 tmc ft Godavari water flowing into sea. Party leaders G. Jagadish Reddy, Deshapathi Srinivas, Gellu Srinivas Yadav and others spoke.
