In a significant step toward educational equity, Round Table India’s Area 9 unveiled the design of a new school on Saturday, September 12, which will be donated to the Telangana government. The project, part of the organization’s Freedom Through Education initiative, aims to bridge the gap between government and private school facilities.

  • Unveiled on September 12, 2026, during Round Table India’s 25th Charter Day celebrations.
  • First phase estimated to cost between ₹3.5 crore and ₹4 crore.
  • Telangana IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu presided over the unveiling.

Government and Civil Society Collaboration

Telangana IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu, who unveiled the project, emphasized the critical need for collaboration between the government, civil society, and industry to strengthen the education system. He stressed that students from economically weaker sections deserve the same quality of education and facilities as those in private institutions.

A Call for Broader Partnerships

The minister praised Round Table India members for contributing their time, resources, and technical expertise to improve school infrastructure. He extended an invitation for the organization to collaborate further with the government in renovating and upgrading schools across Telangana, signaling a hopeful expansion of this initiative.

"Students from economically weaker sections studying in government schools should have access to the same quality of education and facilities available to students in private institutions," said Minister D. Sridhar Babu.

Looking Ahead

This project represents a tangible commitment to educational equality, with the potential to set a precedent for public-private partnerships in India. As Round Table India moves forward with construction, many will be watching how this model can be replicated to benefit more communities.
