After Kerala and Karnataka, Telangana government is also planning to introduce ‘water bells’ in schools at regular intervals, to ensure that the children would get time to drink enough water every day.
Education Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy on Thursday instructed all District Educational Officers (DEOs) to implement water bell in schools.
While the idea of ringing water bell is good, the State government needs to ensure that all schools have drinking water supply.
According to a note issued by the School Education Department earlier this month, there are 7,372 government schools in the State that do not have drinking water facility.
Commissioner of School Education T Vijaya Kumar directed all DEOs to issue necessary instructions to headmasters of such schools to approach the government agency and apply for drinking water connection.
