Stating that one year passed without a Minister for the education sector, SFI Telangana committee general secretary T Nagaraju said the State government has not been able to hold review on the issues being faced by students in the government run schools. “In protest against government negligence in resolving issues in the schools, it has been called for bandh of government schools,” said Murthy and Nagaraju.

They demanded the Chief Minister immediately review the education department, including hostels and welfare institutions, and resolve the long pending issues. They also demanded the appointment of the Education Minister.
