All government schools have been instructed to send invitations to parents ahead of time, giving them sufficient opportunity to prepare traditional Telangana dishes such as 'Sarvapindi', 'Sakinalu', 'Nuvvulu', and 'Ragi' laddu, among others, and bring them to the Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) scheduled for December 21.
