  "account": "The Telangana People’s Front (TPF) 12-day Vidya Bus Yatra concluded its final leg on Saturday at Gabbilalpet Government School in Medchal-Malkajgiri district. The yatra aimed to draw attention to the challenges faced by the education sector. TPF team members engaged with parents and conducted a badi nidra (long night vigil) at the school. Gabbilalpet Primary School operates in rented premises after being secured through the parents' struggle over four years. It is the sole government school catering to a population of around 50,000 residents. On Sunday, TPF organized a round-table discussion with students, activists, and NGOs, during which they demanded targeted measures to improve public education and regulate the increasing costs of private education. Kavya, a first-generation learner from Jawaharnagar, emphasized that children in the area should not feel like second-class citizens. TPF member M.V. Reddy highlighted that education enables individuals to attain high positions in society and challenged the notion that All-India Services are exclusive to candidates from elite backgrounds. Regarding the demand for land for a Telangana Public School in Gabbilalpet, MV Reddy stressed the need for a negotiated solution. Fellow TPF member Champalal termed education and healthcare as essential needs, criticizing the continued struggle for basic education 80 years after India's independence. He cited Telangana Public School, Arutla, as an example of government schools providing full facilities and opportunities to first-generation learners. Venkat Reddy of MV Foundation argued that private schools' growth was facilitated by successive governments lacking proper standards or regulation. TPF leader and former Chairperson of the Telangana Education Commission, Akunuri Murali, stressed the dire need to revitalize school education, proposing a ₹ 6,000 crore annual allocation for five years, which he deemed a small fraction of Telangana’s ₹ 3.24 lakh crore annual budget.",
