The Telangana government today announced that late former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao's life history will soon be taught to students in the state's schools, on occasion of his 94th birth anniversary.
"The life history of former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao will be introduced in the syllabus for school students in Telangana state," Karimnagar MP B Vinod Kumar said.
He was addressing a gathering on the campus of Karimnagar Milk Producer Company Limited (Karminagar Dairy) this morning after garlanding a statue of the late Congress leader on his 94th birth anniversary.
The economic reforms introduced by Mr Rao have developed the country, the TRS MP said, adding that the earlier Congress-led government had neglected the late leader.
A statue of Mr Rao will also be installed at a circle in Karimnagar town soon, Mr Kumar said.
Mr Rao, born on June 28, 1921 at Karimnagar in Telangana, served as the country's tenth Prime Minister between 1991 and 1996. He died in 2004.
Karimnagar Zilla Parishad Chairperson Tula Uma, Karimnagar Dairy Chairman Rajeshwar Rao were among others present at the function.
