KARIMNAGAR: Collector Pamela Satpathy instructed Education Department officials to teach lessons in English medium to children of migrant labourers since they would have to move from one place to another along with their parents.

Speaking after distributing school bags, drawing books and crayons to migrant labourers’ children studying in Maqdumpur Zilla Parishad High School on Wednesday, Satpathy emphasised the need to encourage education among children of migrant labourers. In this regard, the district administration was providing education to more than 500 children in a few selected schools.
