Revanth Reddy Calls for Financial Planning Behind Welfare Schemes, Jobs and Growth

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said welfare schemes announced during elections need to be backed by financial planning and a stronger focus on employment , education and skills. “There is competition. Like football, it cannot be played with hands. These welfare schemes are free competition now during elections,” he said. Reddy argued that political parties should be held accountable for implementing their election promises. “If a party is not executing its promises, it should be disqualified for the next election. The plan will be good, but for capital investment, if the money is fixed, where will the money come from?” “I appeal to the state that employment should be fixed,” he said. Reddy said his government’s approach begins with strengthening education from the early years and preparing students for employment after Class 12. That is why I want to upgrade the education system from LKG and UKG till Class 12. Students have to learn the native language and, particularly, English, along with communication skills. “One lakh engineering students graduate from my state every year. They are doing the specific jobs they want, but they do not have the appropriate skills,” he added. He highlighted the 'Young India Skills University', which he said was established to bridge the gap between education and industry requirements. “I initiated the 'Young India Skills University', the first of its kind in India. It is headed by Anand Mahindra, along with Apollo Hospitals. All these CEOs are owners of their organisations.” Reddy also cited industry partnerships and training centres, stressing the role of skills in securing employment. “Furthermore, Skills are very important to get a job,” Reddy said.
