Minister for education Botsa Satyanarayana said that the Jagan Mohan Reddy government shouldered the responsibility of students' education for their bright future.
He explained that every student will be provided with a kit consisting of bilingual textbooks, (English content on one page and Telugu version on the other), notebooks, workbooks, three pairs of uniforms with stitching charges, a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks, belt and a school bag, Oxford English – Telugu dictionary (for students of Classes VI to X) and Pictorial Dictionary (for students of Classes I to V) at free of cost.
The minister said that the distribution of kits on the first day of reopening of schools itself is the speciality of the Jagan Mohan Reddy government.

He said, "Totally transforming the situation, our Government is providing JVK kits on the day of the reopening of schools. As our students grow into global citizens, let corporate schools compete with government schools."
