Overview
- Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inaugurated the Arutla Telangana Public School on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, with three other pilot campuses opened the same day and 1,814 students enrolled at Arutla across pre‑primary to Intermediate levels.
- The Arutla campus offers English‑medium instruction, digital classrooms, science labs, a library, gym, dedicated sports grounds with coaches, and free bus transport plus breakfast, lunch and evening snacks for students.
- The government announced a plan to expand the TPS model in phases to about 100 schools, aiming to place one Telangana Public School in every assembly constituency if the pilot proves successful.
- The inauguration turned political as the Chief Minister rejected BRS claims of large‑scale tender corruption, saying the contested school‑kit tenders total roughly ₹650–685 crore while the opposition has alleged figures up to ₹2,000–3,000 crore.
- The TPS rollout is part of wider education reforms guided by a state Education Commission, backed by an education budget of about 8.5% (≈₹27,000 crore), and linked to new skills and sports universities intended to boost employability and social integration.
