JAGTIAL, OCT-25 : State Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and Adluri Laxman Kumar laid the foundation stone for a ₹200-crore Young India Integrated School in Tatipally village of Jagtial Rural mandal on Sunday (October 25, 2026). Government Whip Adi Srinivas, District Collector B. Satyaprasad, and Jagtial MLA Dr. Sanjay Kumar also participated in the ceremony, marking a major step toward expanding modern educational infrastructure for marginalized students.
Speaking on the occasion, Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar stated that the government aims to provide corporate-level education to poor students under one roof. He noted that the 25-acre campus will accommodate approximately 2,600 students from SC, ST, BC, and minority communities, providing modern classrooms, sports grounds, and libraries. The Minister emphasized that the government is prioritizing welfare and development simultaneously, pointing to recent increases in residential student diet and cosmetic charges, alongside major loan waivers and free travel schemes.
Welfare Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar urged officials to complete the integrated school construction within 18 months, noting that the initiative fosters social unity as religious leaders inaugurated the works. Government Whip Adi Srinivas highlighted that the administration is reforming the education sector despite inheriting significant financial burdens, aiming to launch classes in at least 10 integrated schools by the next academic year.
District Collector B. Satyaprasad revealed that approximately ₹500 crore is being channeled into educational infrastructure across Jagtial district over the past two years, including a Kendriya Vidyalaya and a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. Jagtial MLA Dr. Sanjay Kumar expressed gratitude to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for sanctioning the mega project, which will significantly elevate educational standards in the region.
