Telangana govt ensuring quality education, nutritious food for kids: CM Revanth Reddy Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy emphasized the state government's commitment to providing quality education and nutritious meals to children during a meeting with economist Karthik Muralidharan. The discussion focused on the long-term impacts of inadequate early education and malnutrition on children's health and development. The meeting took place at the Legislative Council Hall, where Muralidharan presented findings on nutritional deficiencies and learning gaps among children under 10 in Telangana. He warned that poor nutrition during early childhood could lead to serious health complications later in life. The economist also highlighted the psychological risks students face if they lack proper foundational education, stressing the need for early intervention. Revanth Reddy acknowledged the importance of addressing these issues, noting that the government has already allocated resources to ensure schoolchildren receive breakfast and mid-day meals. Muralidharan proposed assigning dedicated staff to Anganwadi centers to oversee the distribution of nutritious food. The chief minister directed officials to evaluate the feasibility of implementing this suggestion on a pilot basis across 29 schools in the Core Urban Region Economy (CURE) area. The government also plans to collaborate with Muralidharan to prepare a detailed report on the initiative, ensuring it aligns with the state's educational and health goals. Revanth Reddy expressed confidence in the economist's recommendations, underscoring the administration's dedication to improving child welfare through systemic reforms.#karthik_muralidharan #telangana_govt #cm_revanth_reddy #legislative_council_hall #anganwadi_centers
