Telangana Bandh on July 23: Education Institutions to Shut as Students Rise in Protest
Hyderabad, 18 July 2025 – A statewide bandh has been declared for 23 July 2025 across Telangana by prominent student unions including AISF, SFI, PDSU, and others. The protest calls for urgent reforms in the state’s education system, affecting all government and private schools, junior colleges, and educational institutions.
The bandh, supported by left-leaning student bodies, is expected to significantly disrupt normal academic activities for the day.
Why Schools and Colleges are closed in Telangana on July 23rd 2025
The student organizations have listed several demands, targeting key areas of concern in the education sector:
List of Demands by AISF and SFI Telangana Student Protest:
- Regulation of Private School and College Fees
- Immediate Recruitment of Teachers & Lecturers
- Timely Release of Scholarships for SC/ST/BC/EWS Students
- Free TSRTC Bus Passes for Students
- Infrastructure Improvements in Government Institutions
- Introduction of Job-Oriented Courses in Junior Colleges
These demands come in response to what student leaders describe as a “deteriorating public education system” and commercialization of private education.
Will Schools & Colleges Be Closed?
Yes. All government and private schools, intermediate colleges, and junior colleges are expected to remain closed on 23 July 2025.
- The Telangana School Education Department is likely to issue official instructions to educational institutions to avoid conducting classes on the day of the bandh.
- School buses and college transportation will also be suspended due to the TSRTC support extended toward student demands.
What the Student Leaders Are Saying
Speaking to the media, representatives from the All India Students Federation (AISF) and Students Federation of India (SFI) stated:
“The government has failed to deliver on basic education promises. Students are dropping out due to unaffordable fees and lack of support. This bandh is our voice for justice.”
They also warned that if the government doesn’t act, further protests would escalate across the state.
