Path for compulsory Telugu not easy, cautions Yarlagadda

The Hindu  

Welcoming Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s decision to introduce Telugu as a compulsory subject from Class One to Intermediate, Lok Nayak Foundation Chairman and former MP Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad wanted the implementation to be taken up seriously keeping past experience in view. At a press conference here on Monday, he expressed apprehensions over private school managements creating hurdles recalling the virtual non-implementation of GOs issued 10 years ago on Telugu being a compulsory subject from Classes One to Ten and nameplates of all shops and establishments to be displayed in Telugu. Taking the development as a positive sign, the North Andhra Telugu writers conference called “Samarabheri” to press for teaching of Telugu as a compulsory subject up to graduation scheduled for September 20 was being put off by three months, Dr. Lakshmi Prasad said. The State Government should come out with a road map for implementing the GOs including framing the syllabus for making Telugu compulsory from the next academic year in the interregnum, he demanded.
