Hyderabad: The children of Singareni workers will now have reservations in MBBS seats at Ramagundam Medical College. The state government issued orders on Thursday to provide this reservation, aiming to give deserving candidates from Singareni families better educational opportunities. Health Minister T Harish Rao expressed support for this decision, recognizing the importance of equal opportunities for quality education. He said, “We understand the important role Singareni employees play in our state’s development, and it is crucial to give their children the chance to pursue high-quality medical education. By providing reservations in MBBS seats, we are ensuring that deserving candidates from Singareni families can achieve their aspirations.”
Out of the 150 available MBBS seats at Ramagundam Medical College, 23 seats are allocated under the All India Quota. The remaining 127 seats will now have a 5% reservation, meaning 7 seats will be exclusively for Singareni employees. Admission to these reserved seats will be based on merit in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). The existing reservation categories for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Backward Classes (BC) will also be considered during the admission process, promoting inclusivity.
This decision was made after a thorough review of appeals from Singareni employees by Chief Minister KCR. The Chief Minister recognized the value of education and the need to support employees and their families, leading to this positive step towards providing access to high-quality medical education for Singareni employees’ children. This initiative showcases the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and equal opportunities for all segments of society. It demonstrates the Telangana government’s dedication to nurturing talent and promoting the progress and development of the state.
Furthermore, this reservation policy aligns with Chief Minister KCR’s vision of establishing government medical colleges in every district of Telangana. By ensuring access to quality medical education for Singareni employees’ children, the government is taking proactive steps towards achieving this ambitious goal and empowering the youth of Telangana.
The Telangana government’s commitment to inclusive growth, equal opportunities, and prioritizing education highlights its dedication to the overall development and progress of the state. As the government continues to work towards building a brighter future, we can expect more initiatives and policies aimed at empowering the youth and contributing to the growth and well-being of Telangana.
