AP state government has decided to upgrade about 200 Municipal High Schools to Junior Colleges. According to this plan, each of these schools would be given an amount of Rs. 1 crore for improvement of infrastructure.
For a casual observer, it looks like a very progressive step. But for Telangana people, they understand that this is the latest saga in an unending tale of regional discrimination.
When Seemandhra and Telangana were merged to form Andhra Pradesh state, Municipal Schools were present only in the British ruled Seemandhra region and not in Telangana region. Instead of correcting this anomaly by establishing new municipal schools in Telangana region, AP government established more municipal schools in Seemandhra region!

By upgrading these Municipal Schools in Seemandhra region, the AP government is only increasing the educational divide between these two regions.
Already, the Seemandhra region has more Govt Aided Junior Colleges than Telangana region. With the latest upgradation, Telangana will have to stay content with even lesser share of Govt aided Junior Colleges.
In spite of a raging popular peoples movement demanding Telangana state as a solution to the discrimination being meted out to the region, the Seemandhra leadership continues to pursue the same discriminatory policies everyday.
And no wonder that the Telangana people think that separation is the only solution.
I have read about the way singareni mining company’s management which comprises totally of andhra officers is misusing their power to help andhra contractors and also for carrying on corruption at a massive scale and the poor miners who are dependent on the company for their livelihood and are from telengana are worried that it is going into losses through these nefarious acts of andhra dominant management, Having a telengana movement does not seem to, in anyway stop these kind of misappropriation of funds and also, some kind of non chalant atitude has creeped into these people, who think, they would never be held to account for their misdeeds..
The despair of the miners is palpable as they had worked hard towards getting it into profits, risking their lives in harsh conditions, but ultimately a power drunk andhra management is going on a looting spree, not giving a damn, whether the company is running into losses or not..
shouldn’t we do something on this issue instead of just discussing over the internet. shall we sign a petition and send it to education minister, CM and Governor. And i think we should make this is as practice so that more ppl are aware of it.
We need to draw a plan for how education should pan out in the new Telengana State.
The plan should be published and popularized.
The key question such a plan should address is how it will make a Telengana young person ready for his/her life – a job/profession/vocation.
And it should be centered around the student and his/her family for defining access, affordability and availability.
Often plans and policies are designed top-down from the administrator’s perspective or other stakeholders like teachers. The order of the stake holders – first the student, his/her family, their environment, teachers and then others.
Meanwhile if MT can open a causes page for ending discrimination in education and seeking more schools/colleges/vocational training schools/professional colleges in one of the social sites and garner a 100000 supporters all over the globe which can be sent to HRC and the supreme court apart from the President and the PM.
Even though I am doubtful if these Kumbakarna deaf, blind and insensitive governments will respond. But at least we will be mobilizing the right thinking people of Telengana and others as well and increase the awareness with data and an alternate constructive plan.
In the interim the plan can be used as a guide to challenge the government for allocation of funds both in and off the Legislative Bodies.

Dear Archana, Since you have written DSC, you should be aware that there are many types of Government Schools and Municipal Schools are just one type among them. If you understand plain English, pleas see the column titled MPL in the list you have given. It shows “0″ Schools in all Telangana district. Get your facts before commenting on our site.
