Telugu to be compulsory in Telangana schools from next year
The Telangana government has directed all public and private schools in the state to introduce Telugu as a compulsory subject from the next academic session. The CBSE and ICSE board authorities have reportedly not objected to the state's decision. Earlier this year, Telangana Chief Minister Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao had said that schools not offering Telugu will be prohibited from functioning.
