&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Computers are dumped in a corner, with no repairs or instructors: principal&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hyderabad: &lt;/em&gt;Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
All this when many private schools, including unrecognised ones, are alluring students by offering free computer studies, a fact that officials themselves admit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The city has around 700 government schools, of which about 300 have been provided with computers by government agencies and NGOs in the last few years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Only 900 functional computers&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The idea was to equip the students of government schools with computer knowledge. But the computers have been dumped in a corner, with no repairs and no instructors,&amp;quot; says the principal of a school at Bahadurpura.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to information obtained under the RTI, around 300 schools in 16 mandals of Hyderabad were provided around 1,800 computers in last few years. However, only 900-odd are in working condition.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&amp;quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Teachers blame officials&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&amp;quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Officials said the contract of maintenance and imparting training in computers was allotted to a private company for five years starting 2008, and the term ended recently. As of now, the headmasters have been asked to conduct the classes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When contacted District Education Officer Subba Reddy acknowledged the problem and said, &amp;quot;We have informed the higher authorities and a decision will be taken shortly.&amp;quot;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Computers are dumped in a corner, with no repairs or instructors: principal&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hyderabad: &lt;/em&gt;Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
All this when many private schools, including unrecognised ones, are alluring students by offering free computer studies, a fact that officials themselves admit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The city has around 700 government schools, of which about 300 have been provided with computers by government agencies and NGOs in the last few years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Only 900 functional computers&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The idea was to equip the students of government schools with computer knowledge. But the computers have been dumped in a corner, with no repairs and no instructors,&amp;quot; says the principal of a school at Bahadurpura.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to information obtained under the RTI, around 300 schools in 16 mandals of Hyderabad were provided around 1,800 computers in last few years. However, only 900-odd are in working condition.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&amp;quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Teachers blame officials&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&amp;quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Officials said the contract of maintenance and imparting training in computers was allotted to a private company for five years starting 2008, and the term ended recently. As of now, the headmasters have been asked to conduct the classes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When contacted District Education Officer Subba Reddy acknowledged the problem and said, &amp;quot;We have informed the higher authorities and a decision will be taken shortly.&amp;quot;

&lt;em&gt;Hyderabad: &lt;/em&gt;Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&amp;quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Teachers blame officials&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&amp;quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Officials said the contract of maintenance and imparting training in computers was allotted to a private company for five years starting 2008, and the term ended recently. As of now, the headmasters have been asked to conduct the classes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When contacted District Education Officer Subba Reddy acknowledged the problem and said, &amp;quot;We have informed the higher authorities and a decision will be taken shortly.&amp;quot;

&lt;em&gt;Computers are dumped in a corner, with no repairs or instructors: principal&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hyderabad: &lt;/em&gt;Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
All this when many private schools, including unrecognised ones, are alluring students by offering free computer studies, a fact that officials themselves admit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The city has around 700 government schools, of which about 300 have been provided with computers by government agencies and NGOs in the last few years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Only 900 functional computers&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The idea was to equip the students of government schools with computer knowledge. But the computers have been dumped in a corner, with no repairs and no instructors,&amp;quot; says the principal of a school at Bahadurpura.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to information obtained under the RTI, around 300 schools in 16 mandals of Hyderabad were provided around 1,800 computers in last few years. However, only 900-odd are in working condition.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&amp;quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Teachers blame officials&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&amp;quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Computers are dumped in a corner, with no repairs or instructors: principal&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hyderabad: &lt;/em&gt;Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
All this when many private schools, including unrecognised ones, are alluring students by offering free computer studies, a fact that officials themselves admit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The city has around 700 government schools, of which about 300 have been provided with computers by government agencies and NGOs in the last few years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Only 900 functional computers&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The idea was to equip the students of government schools with computer knowledge. But the computers have been dumped in a corner, with no repairs and no instructors,&amp;quot; says the principal of a school at Bahadurpura.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to information obtained under the RTI, around 300 schools in 16 mandals of Hyderabad were provided around 1,800 computers in last few years. However, only 900-odd are in working condition.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&amp;quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Teachers blame officials&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&amp;quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Officials said the contract of maintenance and imparting training in computers was allotted to a private company for five years starting 2008, and the term ended recently. As of now, the headmasters have been asked to conduct the classes.

<em>Computers are dumped in a corner, with no repairs or instructors: principal</em>
</p>
<p align="justify">
<em>Hyderabad: </em>Thousands of students in government-managed schools in the city continue to be deprived of computer education. The reason: computers remain mere show pieces at these institutions for want of minor repairs and lack of instructors.
</p>
<p align="justify">
All this when many private schools, including unrecognised ones, are alluring students by offering free computer studies, a fact that officials themselves admit.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The city has around 700 government schools, of which about 300 have been provided with computers by government agencies and NGOs in the last few years.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<em>Only 900 functional computers</em>
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;The idea was to equip the students of government schools with computer knowledge. But the computers have been dumped in a corner, with no repairs and no instructors,&quot; says the principal of a school at Bahadurpura.
</p>
<p align="justify">
According to information obtained under the RTI, around 300 schools in 16 mandals of Hyderabad were provided around 1,800 computers in last few years. However, only 900-odd are in working condition.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;Whenever a computer develops a snag, teachers dump it in a corner as they themselves are not well-versed with its mechanism. As though a formality, they inform higher-ups about it and later forget it,&quot; complains S.Q. Masood, who obtained the information.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Such is the situation that in some schools, there is not a single computer that functions. For instance, at the government high school at Dhoolpet, none of the 16 computers function. It is a similar situation at the schools at Mustaidpura, Kulsumpura, Chaderghat and Golconda and GGHS Chaderghat, to name a few.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<em>Teachers blame officials</em>
</p>
<p align="justify">
On the other hand, teachers blame the higher officials for the present state of affairs.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;At the most, we can inform officials about the problems, but cannot always spend money to undertake repairs,&quot; complains a school principal on condition of anonymity.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Officials said the contract of maintenance and imparting training in computers was allotted to a private company for five years starting 2008, and the term ended recently. As of now, the headmasters have been asked to conduct the classes.
</p>
<p align="justify">
When contacted District Education Officer Subba Reddy acknowledged the problem and said, &quot;We have informed the higher authorities and a decision will be taken shortly.&quot;

Government school students are digital have-nots here-Asif Yar Khan
