Telangana Mantris Taking Spoken English Courses


Recommended Posts

HYDERABAD: In his pursuit of making Telangana an investors' hub and Hyderabad a global destination, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is leaving no stone unturned, and his efforts include polishing his cabinet colleagues' communication skills. With the CM insisting on the ministers acquiring fluency in spoken English, many of them have hired personal tutors to improve and polish their language skills. 

Only a few in the 18-member cabinet can comfortably converse in English, while only two -- the chief minister and his son and IT minister KT Rama Rao -- are comfortable making an impromptu speech in the language. 

"The idea is to make the ministers more confident in performing with their duties. There must not be excessive dependence on bureaucrats. The CM has asked them to do the homework not only in improving language skills, but also other areas including knowledge in computer technology and legislation," said a source close to KCR. 

While he is leading by example, the CM is also putting in earnest efforts to learn more, and the source said KCR gets up early to read. His spoken English has remarkably improved after he took over as the chief minister last year. While his extempore speech at the launch of the industrial policy TS-iPASS in June was lauded by industrialists, he yet again impressed the business community when he addressed a CII conference in Hyderabad on Wednesday. 

"Since the chief minister has issued strict instructions to them, the ministers have hired personal tutors. They are learning fast," said the source. 

Among those who have hired tutors are forest & environment minister Jogu Ramanna, energy minister G Jagadish Reddy and deputy chief minister Md Mahmood Ali, who holds the revenue portfolio. Home minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy and tourism minister Azmeera Chandulal, too, are reported to be burning midnight oil to learn the lingua franca. 

"Generally, the literacy level in Telangana is low because of the injustice meted out to the region during the united Andhra Pradesh regime. At 66 per cent, the state's literacy level is below the national average of 74 per cent. We have kept three years as the target to surpass the national average," said deputy chief minister Kadiyam Srihari, who holds the education portfolio. 

"Regarding the efforts to improve the communication skills and administrative skills of the legislators and ministers, the chief minister is very particular. While encouraging them to hone the skills, the CM is planning a training session under his direct supervision," Srihari added. 

Among the ministers who have shown progress on the language front is industry minister Jupally Krishna Rao, who read out his speech in English at the TS-iPAAS launch. While he is increasingly at ease in conversing with investors and business delegations, the industry officials said his fluency improved remarkably. "Learning is part of life. Everyone is a student forever. And I am not an exception. While we are representing our state on various national and international forums, we need to be articulate in selling our ideas. I am very happy to learn more and proud to say I am in the learning process," said Krishna Rao.
