Mahabubnagar: Alugu Varshini, the Secretary of TGSWREIS, criticized the distortion of her comments on student self-reliance and hygiene. She is upset with media outlets and others twisting her words for political reasons, misrepresenting the institution’s values.
Secretary Varshini explained that she encouraged students to take care of their hygiene and environment to promote self-discipline and personal growth. She emphasized the importance of cleanliness and self-care as essential life skills, especially in a residential school setting.
She mentioned that teaching students self-reliance is not new. During the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, students nationwide participated in cleanliness initiatives. The institution has long incorporated these practices to instill character and responsibility.
Varshini expressed disappointment that her positive message was being used to create division. She warned that some were misinterpreting her words to spread lies. The intention behind this campaign is misleading and harmful.
Without naming anyone, Varshini suggested that individuals with political motives were behind the propaganda. TGSWREIS focuses on empowering marginalized communities through quality education and life skills. She urged people to reject any attempt to derail this mission.
She called on the public and media to understand her message’s broader context. Education involves more than academics; it prepares youth for life by teaching hygiene, self-care, and responsibility. She stressed that these values should be encouraged, not politicized.
As misinformation spreads on social media, many educators and alumni of TGSWREIS have supported the Secretary, valuing the institution’s emphasis on self-discipline and responsibility.
The Secretary ended with a strong message: “Let us not be swayed by false narratives. Let us stay committed to truth, education, and the growth of our students in all dimensions of life.”
