A Major Boost for Higher Education Infrastructure in Telangana
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is set to inaugurate two newly constructed hostel buildings at Osmania University (OU), Hyderabad, on August 21, 2025. The hostels are designed to accommodate nearly 1,200 students, marking a significant step toward improving student facilities at one of the state’s most prestigious universities.
Addressing the Hostel Shortage
For several years, Osmania University students have been demanding improved hostel facilities due to overcrowding and outdated infrastructure. The new hostels will help reduce the burden on existing accommodations and provide a safer, more comfortable living environment for students coming from rural and distant areas of Telangana.
Government’s Focus on Education
The Telangana government under Revanth Reddy has been prioritizing investments in education, research, and infrastructure. Inaugurating these hostels is part of a larger vision to enhance the academic ecosystem and make higher education more accessible to students from all backgrounds. The CM has also emphasized that strengthening universities like Osmania will play a key role in shaping Telangana’s future workforce.

Features of the New Hostels
The new hostel buildings come with modern facilities such as:
- Spacious and well-ventilated rooms
- Separate arrangements for male and female students
- Hygienic dining halls and kitchens
- 24/7 water and electricity supply
- Common study rooms and recreational spaces
These additions aim to improve not just accommodation but also the overall quality of student life on campus.
Students and Alumni Welcome the Move
Students and alumni of Osmania University have welcomed the government’s initiative, calling it a long-overdue step. Many students believe that better hostel facilities will attract more outstation students to pursue higher studies in Hyderabad.
Part of a Bigger Educational Roadmap
Beyond hostels, the state government is also focusing on:
- Digital classrooms and smart learning tools
- Research grants and innovation hubs
- Infrastructure for arts, science, and technology departments
- Support for underprivileged and backward community students
This aligns with CM Revanth Reddy’s broader mission of making Telangana a knowledge-driven economy by 2047.
Conclusion
The inauguration of the two new hostels at Osmania University is more than just an infrastructure upgrade—it’s a reflection of the state’s commitment to investing in education and supporting the aspirations of its youth. As Telangana moves forward, initiatives like these are expected to strengthen its higher education system and empower thousands of students to achieve academic excellence.
