Education Is an Investment in Future Generations
Addressing the gathering, Adluri Laxman Kumar said that under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the Telangana Government views education not as an expenditure but as the most valuable investment in future generations.
He said students studying in government educational institutions today would become a major force for the country’s economy, Telangana’s development, and the economic empowerment of families in the future.
The minister stated that the programme, being organized as part of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, was not merely a celebration of examination results but a symbol of confidence, determination, talent and empowerment among tribal students.
He said the struggles and ideals of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, Komuram Bheem and Ramji Gond continue to inspire the younger generation.
Social Justice Through Education
Adluri Laxman Kumar emphasized that social justice in Telangana is not just a slogan and that empowering weaker sections through education is the government’s primary objective.
He stated that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy believes education is the most powerful weapon for eliminating poverty and that the government is committed to ensuring every poor student receives world-class opportunities.
The minister said when a student obtains higher education and secures employment, not just one family but an entire generation progresses. If thousands of students reach higher positions, the state’s economy becomes stronger. That is why the government is making large investments in the education sector, he added.
