R. Krishnaiah has urged the Telangana Chief Minister to halt the merger of polytechnic colleges with the Young India Skills University. He argues that the move threatens the integrity of technical diploma programs and negatively impacts student career prospects.
Why it matters
Educational policy changes in India often trigger significant public debate regarding the balance between vocational training and formal technical education.
Rajya Sabha Member and Backward Classes leader R. Krishnaiah on Sunday urged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to withdraw GO No. 97 and abandon all plans to merge polytechnic colleges with Young India Skills University under the Shakti scheme.
In a letter to Mr. Reddy, he said that students across Telangana are protesting and blocking roads against the proposed changes, and the government’s lack of response was unfortunate. He warned that weakening the existing polytechnic system could adversely affect students’ higher education and career prospects.
