Overview

• The Telangana chief minister became the first sitting state leader in years to address Osmania University students, signaling a reset in campus–government relations.
• He inaugurated newly built hostels worth about ₹90 crore, laid foundation stones for a digital library and reading room, and announced ₹10 crore earmarked for tribal hostel facilities.
• Officials were directed to form an engineers committee to draft a detailed roadmap for infrastructure transformation across the university.
• Reddy said allocating ₹1,000 crore to Osmania University would not strain a ₹3 lakh crore state budget, citing heavy recent outlays on education and new residential schools and noting the appointment of Kumar Molugaram as vice-chancellor from the Dalit community.
• Even as he vowed to develop the institution on par with top global universities, he cautioned that the state’s coffers are dry and there is no land left to distribute to the poor, framing education as the primary lever for social uplift.
