Transport facilities should be provided for students who study in semi residential schools, CM Reddy said.
Officials have been asked to seek the opinion of educational experts and prepare plans to take up the pilot project in one or two mandals.
CM Reddy suggested that apart from government allocations, CSR funds should also be used to improve facilities for students in government schools. He asked officials to take all necessary measures to provide quality education to the students.
