 Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to Establish New University on IIIT Basara Campus

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced the establishment of a new university on the IIIT Basara campus, promising that the state government will officially start the institution there. This decision comes as a response to the fact that the combined Adilabad district currently lacks a university of its own. The Chief Minister stated that he has already taken the formal decision to grant a university to the district and has specifically requested Minister Jupalli to make the necessary arrangements for its setup within the Basara IIIT premises.

According to the sources, this move is part of a larger effort to address the historical neglect of the region, as the CM noted that the combined Adilabad district has not seen the development it deserves. To rectify this, he pledged that Adilabad will receive development funds on par with the Palamuru district. In addition to educational infrastructure, the government intends to bring an airport to the Adilabad district, a project that will require the acquisition of 10,000 acres of land. Plans are also underway to establish an Advanced Technology Centre (ATC) in Nirmal.

Further insights from the sources highlight the CM’s broader governance strategy:

• Central Relations: The CM emphasized the importance of maintaining a working relationship with the Central Government, stating that he intends to meet the Prime Minister every three months to secure funds and projects. He argued that without asking the Center, the state’s needs cannot be met, and he has already requested several projects during his visits.

• Cultural Development: The government has sanctioned Rs. 22 crores for the development of the Nagoba Jatara.

• Economic Context: The Chief Minister remarked that the debts left by previous administrations have become a "noose" around the current government’s neck, making the acquisition of new funds even more critical.

• Regional Pride: He acknowledged Adilabad as a land of valor and struggle, referencing the legacy of Kumuram Bheem and the fight for "Jal, Jangal, Zameen" (Water, Forest, and Land).

The Chief Minister concluded that while politics is for election time, development must be the sole goal for everyone once the elections are over
