Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has urged teachers to refrain from protesting and requested two years to resolve their grievances. He highlighted his government's recent efforts in teacher recruitment, promotions, and educational infrastructure improvements.
Why it matters
It reflects the ongoing tension between state governments and public sector employees regarding labor demands and policy implementation in India.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday (September 5, 2026) appealed to teachers not to take to the streets over their grievances and sought two more years to address their problems, assuring that the government would resolve them based on the financial resources available.
Addressing a Teachers’ Day programme at the Government Junior College in Kodangal, Mr. Reddy quoted former President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, and said the future of students was in the hands of teachers. “Students spend more time with teachers than with their parents. The future of the country is in classrooms,” he said.
The Chief Minister said the State’s position in education had improved from 28th to 17th after the Congress government came to power and attributed the progress to the efforts of teachers. He said the number of students in government schools had increased by 88,000 over the past two years.
