Building a brighter future - Modern school opens in Bottuguda

The Telangana School Education Department, in collaboration with the Komati Reddy Prateek Foundation, has announced the completion of a modern ₹8 crore school building in Bottuguda, Nalgonda district. The newly constructed facility, named "Komati Reddy Prateek Government Primary and High School," replaces the dilapidated former government school and is set to transform education for underprivileged students in the region. The inauguration is slated to take place soon, with Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy expected to preside over the ceremony.

The announcement was made earlier today by the Information and Public Relations Department of Telangana (@IPRTelangana) on X, accompanied by images of the sleek, multi-story building featuring contemporary architecture, green terraces, and advanced facilities. The project, funded and overseen by the Komati Reddy Prateek Foundation, honors the memory of Komati Reddy Prateek, the late son of former Congress minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, who tragically passed away in a road accident on Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road in 2012.

A Milestone in Educational Infrastructure

The new school, built on the site of the old Bottuguda Government High School, boasts state-of-the-art amenities designed to enhance learning outcomes. Key features include digital classrooms, computer education programs, and instruction in both English and Urdu mediums. The institution will cater to students from 1st to 12th standards, supported by a highly qualified teaching faculty. This development marks the beginning of a broader initiative by the state government to modernize all government schools, colleges, and anganwadis in the constituency over the next three years, as outlined by Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy. The official naming of the school was formalized through a Government Order (G.O. Ms. No. 27) issued by the School Education Department on October 14, 2025, following approval from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The order, signed by Secretary to Government (Education) D. Yoysita Rana, reflects the administration’s commitment to honoring local contributions while advancing educational equity.

Historical Context and Community Impact

The Komati Reddy Prateek Foundation, established in memory of the late Prateek, has a history of educational philanthropy. Records from 2012 indicate that the foundation previously constructed two modern college buildings at a cost of ₹3.5 crore, underscoring its long-standing dedication to infrastructure development in the region (Times of India, February 4, 2012). The latest project in Bottuguda escalates this effort, with an investment nearly triple that amount, signaling a significant escalation in the foundation’s ambitions. The original Bottuguda Government High School, located in Nalgonda-1, has served the community for decades, offering co-educational instruction in Telugu and English for students in classes 6 to 10 (liko.in, 2011 data). However, its outdated facilities had long hindered educational quality. The new building addresses these shortcomings, promising a conducive environment for learning and growth.

Minister’s Vision and Future Plans

Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for approving the school’s name and emphasized its role as a model for future projects. “This school is a testament to our commitment to providing quality education to every child, regardless of their background,” he stated in the X post. The minister highlighted plans to replicate this model across the constituency, aligning with the state’s broader vision of “Telangana Rising 2047.”
