Telangana sources have stated that the Telangana State Government has made Telugu a compulsory subject from first to 12th standard in all the private and public educational institutions in the state. The state government has decided to pass a resolution in the Cabinet meet for protection and perseverance of Telugu language and literature.
According to sources Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has instructed the Sahitya Academy to prepare syllabus for the Telugu subject to be taught to primary, secondary, higher and intermediate classes. The Syllabus fixed by the Sahitya Academy must be taught in all the educational institutions and they are not permitted to teach syllabus according to their whims and fancies.
The CM had declared that the government will be strict in implementing the policy that Telugu is taught as the compulsory subject and only the syllabus framed by the Sahitya Academy is taught in educational institutions. Meanwhile it was also decided the only educational institutions that teach Telugu as a compulsory subject would be given recognition and permissions to function.
