Reviving the Forgotten Legacy of Urdu Education
The building, located in Malapally, Nizamabad, was originally constructed in 2008 at a cost of ₹30 lakh by the Roads & Buildings Department. It was meant to serve as a junior college for girls but remained unused and neglected for over a decade, particularly during the BRS regime.
High-Level Meeting Reviews Renovation Plans
Shabbir Ali chaired a comprehensive review meeting at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana Secretariat on Monday. The session included senior officials such as:
- Taher Bin Hamdan, Chairman, Telangana Urdu Academy
- Yasmeen Basha, In-Charge Secretary, Minorities Welfare Department
- Asadullah, In-Charge Director, Urdu Academy
- Sri Laxma Reddy, Deputy Director, Board of Intermediate Education
- Officials from the Departments of Higher Education, Intermediate Education, and Minority Welfare
₹38 Lakh Sanctioned for Immediate Renovation
Shabbir Ali revealed that ₹38 lakh has been sanctioned by the Nizamabad Urban Development Authority (NUDA) for the renovation of the dilapidated structure. In addition, he pledged financial assistance from his personal funds to speed up the process.
The restoration is expected to be completed within three months, after which the structure will be repurposed as a fully operational Government Urdu Medium Junior College for Girls.
Focus on Empowering Urdu-Speaking Girls
Speaking at the meeting, Shabbir Ali emphasized the importance of education in the mother tongue and the need to empower girls from the Urdu-speaking community.
“The revival of this building will provide the girls of Nizamabad access to quality education in their mother tongue. This is a long-overdue step towards educational justice for the Urdu-speaking community,” said Shabbir Ali.
Government to Receive Detailed Proposal
After the renovation, a detailed proposal will be submitted to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for formal approval of the junior college. Officials present at the review meeting expressed full support for the project and assured prompt clearances for all necessary approvals
