Hyderabad, Nov. 11: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy urged minorities to prioritise education, skill development and sports to secure better livelihood opportunities for their children.
Addressing National Education Day and Minority Welfare Day celebrations at Banjara Bhavan, he said the government was committed to providing education and skill development opportunities.
He suggested that children who were unwilling to pursue formal education should consider skill training and blue-collar jobs. Those unable to follow these paths should be encouraged to take up sports, he added.
