🚨Why Can't We Have More Schools Like This in Hyderabad?
Visited the first fully air-conditioned English-medium government school in Nalgonda earlier this week. The school was built and funded by Komatireddy Venkat Reddy (@KomatireddyKVR ) in memory of his son, at a cost of around ₹8 crore.
I missed visiting it during my last trip, but this time I took some time for a short tour. Though the campus is not very large, I was quite impressed. The building is well designed, classrooms are air-conditioned, and the furniture and facilities are comparable to many private schools.
I also met a few parents who were visiting the school with their children. They were happy that their son secured admission through the lottery system. Around 360 students were selected from nearly 4,000 applications, which shows the strong demand for quality government education. One parent mentioned that their child was studying in a private school earlier.
Good infrastructure alone does not guarantee good educational outcomes, and it will take time to see the results. But one thing is clear: parents are looking for better government schools.
While the government is investing in Larger format Young India Schools, I feel a effort should be made in Hyderabad to build multiple smaller schools as well. With the amount spent on various welfare schemes, building a few dozen high-quality government schools across the city should be possible.
@revanth_anumula Education has become a major financial burden for families across all income groups in Hyderabad. More quality government schools can provide a good alternative and help thousands of parents.
@AdeptMarket Technically speaking there is only selling with volumes. It's very famous in telugu states. Iike the company but not it's price action. Will wait till chart becomes favorable
@hydcitypolice @SajjanarVC I would like to thank hyd police for taking strict actions on drivers especially auto drivers who are talking on phone. Many are watching reels on instagram and few are even watching serials on YouTube and driving.
There are questions about where Zoho is developed and where the data is hosted and who hosts it. There is a lot of false information we want to correct.
1. All the products are developed in India. Our global headquarters is in Chennai and we pay taxes in India on our global income. As a global corporation headquartered in India, we have offices in over 80 countries and have a strong presence in the US which is a big market for us.
2. Indian customer data is hosted in India (Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, soon Odissa). We have over 18 data centers globally and they host the respective country or regional data. We are committed to hosting each country data in their own jurisdiction.
3. All our services run on hardware we own and software frameworks we developed, on top of open source like Linux OS and Postgres database.
4. We do not host our products on AWS or Azure. Arattai, specifically, is not hosted on AWS or Azure or GCloud. We use some of those services for regional switching nodes to speed up traffic but data is not stored in them. We are adding many such "points of presence" (POPs) as we speak.
5. Our Zoho Developer account in the App Store and Play Store lists our US office address because the account was registered in the very early days of those stores by one of our employees in the US just to test them out. We never changed that.
We are proudly "Made in India, Made for the World" and we mean it🙏
