Hyderabad: In a push to promote inclusive education, Telangana Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir has spearheaded the revival of a long-neglected Urdu medium educational institution in Nizamabad, setting the stage for the launch of a Government Junior College for Girls.
The building, located in Malapally, Nizamabad Town, was constructed in 2008 by the Roads & Buildings Department at a cost of ₹30 lakh but remained unused throughout the BRS regime. Now in disrepair, the structure is set for complete renovation.
Shabbir Ali, who chaired a review meeting at the Secretariat on Monday, announced that ₹38 lakh has been sanctioned by the Nizamabad Urban Development Authority (NUDA) for the restoration, along with supplementary support from his personal funds. The renovation is scheduled to be completed within three months.
Once restored, the facility will be repurposed to house a Government Urdu Medium Junior College exclusively for girls a long-overdue step aimed at providing accessible education in Urdu to young women in the region.
“This is about more than just bricks and mortar it’s about restoring dignity and opportunity to a community that has been overlooked for far too long,” Shabbir Ali said, calling the move a measure of “educational justice” for Urdu-speaking families.
Present at the meeting were Urdu Academy Chairman Taher Bin Hamdan, Minorities Welfare In-Charge Secretary Yasmeen Basha, Urdu Academy Director Asadullah, and officials from Intermediate and Higher Education departments. They assured their full cooperation and promised swift approvals for the next phases of the project.
Shabbir Ali added that once the renovation is completed, a formal proposal for establishing the college will be submitted to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for approval.
