  "summary": "The National Backward Classes Welfare Association has called for the construction of 100 new hostels and 100 Gurukul schools (residential schools) across Telangana, urging the State government to utilize government land for educational and welfare infrastructure instead of selling it. Rajya Sabha member and association president R. Krishnaiah, who participated in a protest in Dharna Chowk near Indira Park, argued that the proposed sale of government land was not in the public interest and that many existing BC college hostels lacked proper buildings. The association emphasizes the need for better facilities for students pursuing professional and higher education courses, as well as increased financial assistance for hostel students and adequate staffing to meet their needs.",
