Collector Emphasizes Boost in Government School Enrollments and Literacy Initiatives
Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santhosh has directed education department officials to take concerted efforts to significantly increase student enrollment in all government schools during the current academic year. He issued these instructions during a review meeting with Mandal Education Officers held on Thursday at the IDOC Conference Hall. During the session, the Collector conducted a comprehensive analysis of changes and progress across all departments within the education sector from last year to the present. He issued appropriate guidelines based on this review. Speaking on the occasion, the District Collector highlighted that government schools have improved significantly in terms of infrastructure, student pass percentages, filling of teacher vacancies, quality teaching, and provision of free uniforms and textbooks by the state government. He emphasized that officials should go door-to-door to motivate parents and students, encouraging them to enroll in government schools in larger numbers. He clearly instructed that 100% attendance of both teachers and students must be ensured in all government schools. He also directed Mandal Education Officers to update and submit reports related to the Badibata (enrollment drive) program. The Collector suggested reopening four primary schools in villages with zero enrollment — Putanpalli, Baswapur, Mirjapur, and Edulagudem. He also instructed that every student's Aadhaar number be registered in UDISE+ and that APAR IDs be generated without delay. To resolve Aadhaar-related issues, he advised Mandal Education Officers to coordinate with EDMs to ensure swift Aadhaar registration and correction for all students. He also stressed the importance of providing nutritious meals as per the prescribed menu under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme. Regarding students who passed Class 10, the Collector ordered the Intermediate Officer to monitor their enrollment in government junior colleges and take necessary steps to ensure their continuation in education. Special attention was also given to adult women's literacy. The Collector urged the organization of special classes under the "Ullas" program to promote universal education. He emphasized the need to utilize the Telangana Open School Society (TOSS) programs and collaborate with self-help groups to raise awareness and improve literacy at the village level. District Intermediate Officer Hriday Raju, Mandal Education Officers from all mandals, and district coordinators attended the meeting.

JNU teachers' body questions admission delays, PhD process; demands accountability
In a statement, the JNUTA flagged irregularities in admission timelines, especially for PhD aspirants, and criticised the use of NET percentile scores in a way that it claimed distorts the final merit list. There was no immediate response from the JNU administration over the allegations. New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI) The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association (JNUTA) expressed concern on Monday over what it termed a 'messy and illogical' academic schedule for the upcoming semester, alleging widespread administrative lapses under the current university leadership. 'Combining percentile scores from the NET exam with raw viva-voce marks defies basic statistical logic,' it said, adding that the practice renders the written exam marks effectively meaningless. According to the current schedule, while continuing students start attending classes from July 9, first-year undergraduate and postgraduate students will only complete their admissions by July 29, with a possible final round in mid-August. PhD admissions, meanwhile, are spread across September, with uncertainty over semester alignment and course durations. The statement also highlighted the exclusion of the June 2025 NET candidates from the PhD process, despite many having just completed their master's degree. Further, the JNUTA accused the administration of bypassing faculty opinions on reverting to the university's own entrance exams and misusing the APAR (Annual Performance Assessment Report) mechanism to over-regulate the academic staff. 'The VC's avoidance of a scheduled meeting with the JNUTA, despite an earlier commitment, shows the administration's indifference,' the teachers' body said, noting unresolved promotion cases and arbitrary appointment processes during the summer break. A mass-faculty delegation is now scheduled to approach the vice chancellor's office on July 4 to register its protest and demand immediate redressal. The JNUTA reaffirmed its commitment to 'saving the university from complete destruction' amid what it described as a steadily-deteriorating academic climate.
