Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the state government would provide free electricity to about 30,000 government schools as part of measures to improve infrastructure facilities.
“When (free power) is given to farmers and 200 units free (power) is provided to the poor, why cannot free electricity be provided in schools where Telangana’s future is built. I gave directives to our government officials to provide free power to the 30,000 schools in Telangana. The state government will take that burden,” he said.
