KTR always does such thoughtful work for Sircilla students. Last year it was laptops, now tablets - at least someone is walking the talk on education. Hope other politicians also focus on empowering our youth instead of just empty promises. 👏
Honestly, this is good for PR but where is the long-term plan? Giving tablets to 30 students is a drop in the ocean. We need systematic improvement in government school infrastructure, teacher training, and curriculum. Still, credit where due - at least someone is doing something visible for education in Telangana.
My cousin studies in Geethanagar ZPHS! She was so excited about this event. KTR sir's words about Sircilla students having potential to compete globally really inspired her. Yes, it's a small step, but for these children, it means the world. Maa Telangana 🤍
KTR always shines in education initiatives. But we must also question - why only for top 30? What about the average student who also works hard? Everyone deserves a chance to shine. Still, better than most politicians who do nothing. 🤷♂️
This "Gift A Smile" program is running since 2020, right? Good consistency. But I hope the tablets come with proper educational content pre-loaded and not just entertainment apps. Digital learning is great, but it needs proper guidance for teachers and parents too. Still, nice gesture from KTR. 👌
