The Andhra Pradesh (A.P.,) Government, on the 24th of February, is all set to implement a plan to increase literacy in Tribals.
In regard to this, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Government already set up various educational institutions for the tribals. The State Government also worked to take steps to make it compulsory for every tribal student to study up to primary, pre matric and post matric.
The Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, also inaugurated 2,682 tribal schools at various levels. The Government also took special measures to make the tribals highly educated.
As part of this, Vizianagaram district is setting up a Tribal Engineering College at Kurupam, YSR Tribal Medical College at Paderu and Tribal Universities at Vizianagaram and the admissions at the Tribal University will start from this academic year. Admissions to medical and engineering colleges will begin once the construction is completed. The newly established sports school in Araku for the tribals already has all the facilities with international standards.
The Government also took steps to pay special attention to tribal students from the basic stage.
A total of 2,04,588 tribal children are currently studying in 2,682 tribal schools at various levels.
As the Tribal Welfare Government primary schools currently have only one teacher, the government is taking steps to recruit another teacher depending on the number of students. Those who have completed primary education are admitted to Ashram schools and Gurukul schools. All facilities are provided in tribal schools at all levels including primary schools with meals.
Stay tuned for further updates.
