Loading ...The government on Friday cancelled allotment of 13.25 acres of prime land in Mahendra Hills, Secunderabad, to the Civil Services Society floated by wives of IAS and IPS officers. The society had proposed to set up a school on the property.
A Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, took the decision as the society did not open the proposed ‘Sanskriti School’ even three years after being given the land. “The land will be given to the AP Housing Board to be used for the Indiramma scheme,” Mr A. Ramnarayan Reddy, information and public relations minister, said after the meeting.
In a representation to the government in April 2005, Ms Usha Kanda, the then president of the Civil Services Society, had stated that the wives of serving IAS and IPS officers in Andhra Pradesh had established the Civil Services Society, on the lines of a similar association in New Delhi, to set up a school in Hyderabad.
The society sought allotment of 25 acres of land in Hyderabad free of cost as the institution was to be a non-profit organisation. Dr V.P. Jauhari, former special chief secretary (revenue), had approved the request and allotted 13.25 acres to the society for the establishment of the school.
