He noted that the initiative was part of the government's election manifesto, underlining its commitment to strengthening law enforcement through modern and progressive training facilities.
Revanth Reddy reflected on the transformative power of education in shaping a nation's future. Citing the visionary leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, he said that it was under Nehru’s leadership that the foundations of major universities were laid, which enabled India to reach a level where it now competes with nations across the world.
He observed that while many Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers have served the country, only a few are remembered for their impactful decisions, and it is those defining choices that shape history.
He remarked that every Chief Minister leaves a unique imprint, mentioning N.T. Rama Rao’s Rs. 2 per kg rice scheme for the poor, Chandrababu Naidu’s role in developing Hyderabad’s IT sector, and Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s strong bond with farmers. He added that he too is working to establish his own brand — “Young India” — inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi.
The Chief Minister reiterated that education and employment are the two pillars of his government’s vision. He highlighted the establishment of the Young India Skills University, aimed at equipping unemployed youth with technical skills.
Business leader Anand Mahindra has been appointed as Chairperson of the university. Revanth Reddy stated that every student who joins the university will have job security and added that the government is determined to make it the best skills university in the country.
He further announced plans to establish a Young India Sports University and Academy to prepare athletes for future Olympics. In addition, Young India Residential Schools will be set up in every constituency, each on a 25-acre campus, to provide quality education.
Addressing the issue of declining enrollment in government primary schools, he revealed plans to reform the school system by introducing a preschool structure starting from Grade 1.
Regarding the Young India Police School, the Chief Minister expressed his vision of developing it on par with Sainik Schools. He assured that the government is prepared to allocate the necessary funds for this purpose and called on private companies to contribute as part of their corporate social responsibility.
He proposed the creation of a corpus fund of Rs. 100 crore for the school and confirmed that the government will provide all required permissions to support the initiative.
Earlier, the Chief Minister toured the school premises, inspecting classrooms and playgrounds, and interacted with the students.
