BRS MLA Harish Rao criticized the government's negligence towards the poor conditions of ITI colleges and Gurukuls in Telangana. He highlighted that despite the lack of basic facilities, the government seems indifferent. Harish Rao lamented the deplorable state of these institutes in places like Peddapalli, Sangareddy, and Adilabad.
He pointed out that sanitation issues, lack of toilets, and inadequate staff have left students struggling. Rao stated that computers, machinery, and tools in libraries are non-functional, hindering students' practical learning. In some places, rainwater seeps into classrooms, creating additional challenges.
The MLA expressed concern over the deteriorating state of Gurukuls, with reports of contaminated food, student illnesses, snake bites, and dengue-related deaths becoming alarmingly common. He criticized the unhygienic conditions, with campuses infested with mosquitoes and flies, and even lacking bathroom doors, causing distress to students.
Moreover, the quality of food is poor, with students reportedly having to fill their stomachs with spicy rice due to a lack of proper meals. Water tanks are reportedly covered in grime, leading to skin diseases as students use the water for bathing and other needs.
Harish Rao questioned how students could focus on their studies amidst these issues and how parents could trust these institutions to secure their children's future. He condemned the decline in the reputation of Gurukuls under the Congress government's rule, which were once highly regarded during the BRS government's tenure. The BRS party has demanded that the government urgently address these issues and provide all necessary facilities in ITI colleges and Gurukuls.
