Sircilla students to get free dictionaries

Encouraging students further to gain knowledge on English, local MLA and IT and Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao has taken up an innovative programme to distribute Telugu-English dictionaries.

Rajanna-Sircilla: In the wake of globalisation, English knowledge has become mandatory for rural students to get better opportunities. In this backdrop, parents have begun sending their wards to private English medium schools. To overcome the problem and protect government schools, the government has also introduced English medium in schools.

Encouraging students further to gain knowledge on English, local MLA and IT and Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao has taken up an innovative programme to distribute Telugu-English dictionaries. Students studying Class VI to X will be given dictionaries. In the first phase, students studying in government schools of Sircilla constituency will be given. Later, it will be implemented across the district.

A voluntary organization, ‘Give Telangana’ has come forward to distribute dictionaries, which were manufactured under the supervision of Rama Rao. Minister also made some recommendations ensuring the students to understand words easily. Moreover, Rama Rao also wrote a preface to the dictionary asking the students to become role models for the State by gaining English knowledge. English knowledge would help Telangana students to capture the best opportunities across the world.

Stating that it was a small gift to the students of his beloved Rajanna-Sircilla district, Rama Rao hoped that the dictionary would help the students to write their exams perfectly. Advising the students to learn English with a passion, the Minister concluded the preface by wishing best of luck. Out of 111 government schools, English medium is being taught in half of the schools. It was decided to distribute dictionaries to 12,000 students studying in 90 schools in this academic year.

Since students were not attending schools in the wake of Covid-19, education department officials have made arrangements to distribute dictionaries by visiting the houses of students. Speaking to Telangana Today, District Education Officer, D Radhakishan informed that about 12,000 students would be provided dictionaries and arrangements have also been made for distribution. Students should have English knowledge right from their childhood, and learn the ability to clear their doubts on their own by going through the dictionary.

Based on the request by the Minister Rama Rao, some of the voluntary organisations have come forward and provided facilities in government schools. DEO thanked ‘Give Telangana’ for coming forward to distribute dictionaries.
