When students said they were facing problems since they were forced to sit on the ground due to lack of benches, he assured that the benches would be arranged. Responding to the local people’s complaint that the principal’s husband was dictating terms in the school, the MLA promised to take action.
Ravishankar said that in order to provide corporate level education to poor and middle class students, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao started gurukulam schools across the state.
However, the ground reality was different and students were suffering a lot due to negligence of teachers. Not only concentrating on getting salaries, teachers should teach lessons to students. Right from the regional coordinator to RCO to principal, everybody was behaving irresponsibly.
