Overview

• During an Aug 25 visit to Osmania University, the Telangana chief minister inaugurated new hostels and laid foundations for facilities including a digital library and reading room, with works reported at about ₹90 crore plus ₹10 crore from tribal welfare.
• He ordered a committee of engineers and education experts to produce a comprehensive development plan with cost estimates for modernising the campus.
• Reddy said he would return for an open meeting at the Arts College without police deployment and announce additional funding at that time.
• Signalling fiscal constraints, he told students the state’s coffers are dry and that land for distribution is unavailable, positioning quality education as the government’s primary lever.
• Opposition BJP leaders condemned the visit as self-promotion, questioned security arrangements and staffing shortfalls, and noted that specific, budgeted allocations for the promised upgrade have not yet been issued.
