Telangana Minister for Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Ponnam Prabhakar said proposals have been sent for setting up two Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, one at Bheemadevarapally in Hanumakonda district and the other in Rajanna Sircilla district.

Mr. Prabhakar, along with Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, laid foundation stones for various development works being taken up under the Urban Infrastructure Development Fund (UIDF) and Municipal General Funds (MGF) in the 23rd, 25th, 26th and 46^th divisions of the Karimnagar Municipal Corporation on Monday (November 9, 2026).

Speaking to the media later, Mr. Prabhakar stressed the need to set politics aside after the elections and focus collectively on development, regardless of political affiliation.

He called upon all stakeholders to work together to ensure that the erstwhile undivided Karimnagar district remained at the forefront of development across all sectors. The Minister said education, healthcare and infrastructure development were accorded top priority. Representations were made for establishing Kendriya Vidyalayas at Jammikunta and Husnabad, he said.

He added that opportunities to pursue LLB, LLM, and higher courses in pharmacy and engineering had become available in the region.

Regarding the rapid urbanisation of Karimnagar city, Mr. Prabhakar said that urban development was prioritised. He also said efforts were underway to develop major temples at Kondagattu, Vemulawada, Dharmapuri, Kaleshwaram, and Kothakonda, with a focus on improving pilgrim amenities.
