Minister Jupally Emphasizes Quality Education and Nutritious Meals at KGBVs
Minister Jupally Krishna Rao has highlighted the importance of providing quality education and nutritious meals to students at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs). This comes in the wake of a food poisoning incident at Pentlavelli KGBV, which made several students ill.
To address this issue, Minister Jupally organized an awareness seminar at a function hall in Kollapur constituency. The event included KGBV students, teaching and non-teaching staff, and other officials.
The Minister directed officials to take strict measures to prevent such incidents in the future, warning that negligence would not be tolerated. He emphasized that any lapses from officials or agencies supplying food materials would result in severe actions.
Minister Jupally stressed the need for holistic education, encouraging students to participate in sports, arts, and crafts. He urged teachers and staff to care for the students as their own children, ensuring they face no undue pressure. He also mandated that clean, nutritious food be provided according to government menus and stressed the importance of maintaining cleanliness to prevent seasonal diseases.
The Minister assured that funds allocated for constituency development would be used to improve facilities in schools and hostels. He expressed his displeasure over the supply of contaminated water, infested rice, and spoiled vegetables, demanding action against the responsible agencies. He suggested setting up water purification and testing facilities, with plans to establish RO plants where necessary.
Minister Jupally also checked on the facilities in the hostels, including the availability of safe drinking water and books in the library. He encouraged students to aim high and emphasized that education is a continuous process that should benefit society.
He assured students that they could directly contact him or the District Collector in case of any issues, even providing them with his contact number.
Collector Badavath Santosh, education department officials, and teaching and non-teaching staff participated in the program.
