The Telangana Save Education Committee has criticised the State government for allocating only 8.2 per cent of the budget to education and demanded that the allocation be increased to 15 per cent, citing the Congress manifesto promise and inadequate funding for universities.
TS UTF president K Jangaiah and general secretary Chava Ravi urged the State government to review and increase allocations for the education sector as the present budget would not be enough for development of the public education system.
The Congress election manifesto promised financial assistance to unemployed youth, job calendar and setting up of youth commission. But the grand old party did not mention its promises in the budget, stated DYFI state president Kota Ramesh and secretary A Venkatesh.
