Telangana: In Hyderabad, government schools are on the verge of a promising development that could ease the financial burden imposed by escalating electricity bills, a challenge that significantly impacts their annual grants.
The State government is actively considering a strategic shift in the power tariff classification for government schools, contemplating a transition from the commercial to the domestic category. To spearhead this initiative, the Education Department has been entrusted with the task of formulating a comprehensive plan. This plan is intended to pave the way for the implementation of a domestic tariff structure specifically tailored for government schools.
Such a shift holds the potential to bring substantial relief to these educational institutions, offering a respite from the strain posed by excessive electricity costs. By aligning the power tariff with the domestic category, the government aims to optimize resource allocation for government schools, ensuring more efficient and sustainable utilization of their allocated funds. This anticipated change reflects a proactive measure by the State government to enhance the financial sustainability of government schools and bolster the quality of education they provide.
