Good to see development projects being inaugurated. But ₹5.17 crore for one school building in Lucknow? Would like to see a cost breakdown. That money could have built several schools in rural areas. Need more transparency in spending.
Finally giving ownership rights to families displaced decades ago is a big move. Justice delayed but not denied. This is what a government should do - fulfill old promises. 👏
The renaming of the locality seems unnecessary and divisive. Development should be inclusive and bring people together, not erase identities. Focus should remain on education and infrastructure for all.
"Double-engine" sounds good in speeches, but we need to see the train moving on the ground in every district. Hope these model schools have proper labs, libraries, and sports facilities. Bahut accha initiative hai!
As a parent, I appreciate the focus on education. But what about the fee structure? Will it be affordable for middle-class families? Modern facilities are great, but only if they are accessible.
