Telangana district collectors were directed to stay at residential schools for at least a day in a week to check the maintenance of the amenities. They were asked to complete the tender process for supply of eggs at the earliest.
Ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, Konda Surekha and Adluri Lakshman Kumar held a video conference with the collectors on Tuesday (July 22, 2025). They reviewed the implementation of Indiramma Indlu, Bhu Bharati, basic amenities in residential schools, Mahalakshmi scheme and other programmes.
The Ministers were particular that there was no compromise in the quality of food that was being supplied to students of residential schools. Officials concerned should regularly conduct inspections on the amenities in these institutions to get first hand information.
Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao instructed the collectors to further improve the quality of food in line with the hike in the diet charges effected by the government. In addition, they should ensure that basic amenities were provided in all these schools to not give scope for any complaints and avoid inconvenience to the boarders.
Steps should be taken to ensure sanitation in the institutions as well as protection of the green cover, and convene meetings with the parents committees once in a month.
They have directed collectors to play a proactive role in ensuring that the benefits of the flagship schemes launched in the State effectively reached the beneficiaries at the grass root level.
About the Indiramma houses, collectors were directed to take steps to see that all eligible families were covered under the scheme and efforts should be made to expeditiously complete the construction of these houses.
Steps should be taken to see that there was no shortage of sand required for the construction of Indiramma houses. It was the responsibility of the district administration to ensure that beneficiaries were not put to difficulties in transporting the sand. The State Government had decided to review the progress of Indiramma houses once a week through video conference, the Ministers said directing the districts’ administration to resolve the complaints registered through Bhu Bharati speedily.
