Students must work hard till the age of 25 for success: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, May 28 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wedneday urged students to dedicate themselves to hard work and education until the age of 25 to secure a successful and fulfilling life.
He emphasised that good jobs and a better future can only be achieved through consistent effort and education.
Speaking at the Gurukula Awards function held at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Telangana stalwart Suravaram Pratap Reddy, noting that Telugu University has been named in his honour to recognise his contributions.
Similarly, a prominent women's university has been named after freedom fighter "Veeranari" Chakali Ilamma, highlighting the state's commitment to celebrating those who have fought for the people.
Revanth Reddy underlined that true legacy is built by serving society, not by one's caste identity. "The Congress is carrying forward the ideals of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," he said.
He called on Dalits, Tribals, and other weaker sections to abandon feelings of inferiority and embrace self-confidence.
The Chief Minister announced the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, aimed at empowering underprivileged students to compete at global standards. 'Education is the only way to achieve recognition and upliftment in society,' he added.
Lashing out at the previous BRS government, the CM criticised their focus on schemes like goat, sheep, and fish distribution, while neglecting educational empowerment.
He questioned, 'Why didn't the BRS take steps to make the weaker sections stakeholders in governance through education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of unemployed youth by not releasing job notifications for a decade?'
Highlighting the achievements of his administration, Revanth Reddy said the current government has filled 59,000 government jobs within a year, and successfully conducted Group 1 exams and announced results. He accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing appointment orders by filing court cases, turning the issue into a social problem.
The CM condemned the opposition for prioritising their own family members for posts soon after their electoral defeat, while simultaneously blocking job opportunities for the youth. He urged the younger generation to question BRS leaders when they visit and to expose their alleged conspiracies.
'Focus is essential,' the CM warned students. 'Getting distracted can lead to problems for your families. Don't let such situations arise. Be confident, excel, and make not just your parents, but also your state proud.'
Revanth Reddy also highlighted his government's inclusive approach, noting the appointment of the first Dalit Vice Chancellor in Osmania University's 100-year history, Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission, and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. "These appointments are based on merit and education, not caste," he stated.
The CM said, 'The future of our country lies in the classrooms. I sincerely wish all students success in every field.' UNI VV SSP
