Posted On: 16/12/2011      Updated On:
The iconic Hyderabad Public school (HPS) which also happens to be the alma matter of Chief Minister N.kiran Kumar Reddy has been doling out a raw deal to its Dalit students for two years, through its decision to revoke boarding facilities.The school's decision to withdrawhostel accommodation for the Plus-One and Plus-two admission holders ha forced students from underprivileged sections to stay in State-run social welfare in State-run social welfare hostels,thereby affecting their study quality and performance to a great extent.

Appalling conditions :"Conditions in social wlfare hostels are appalling. We are given a diet of low quality rice and watery sambar, and crammed into a hall with many other students. Due to this, we are unable to study properly, though the school we are in is one among the best in the country," says Suresh(name changed), a Dalit student from Plus-II. Till Class X, these students stayed in HPS dormitories each accomodating four members. Apart from good food and health care, one ,ore advantage was in the daily preparatory classes held by the teachers. The performance of all the dalit students has reprtedly declined when compared to their Class X results.. There have been instances where scorers of 70 per cent in Class X exams failed in almost all subjects in Plus-I. Students also claim that from the previous batch of Plus-two, nearly 50 per cent of the students fail to clear the exams. Many of them poor households outside Hyderabad.When contacted Principal R.S.Khatri, while not divulging teh numbers of Dalit students and their pass percentages, claimed that many ar opting out after Class X, seeking education in corporate colleges. He ascruied the decision to withdraw hostel accommodation to the Board of Governer. Board of Governers:Princial Secretary for School Education D.Sambasiva Rao, who is the Board's chairman whoever , whoever not aware of the desicion.
