Talk Show on Government

Oakridge Newton Campus was abuzz with the news of arrival of the Shri. Prasad kumar Gaddam (Hon. Minister for Textiles). This was for a Talk Show on the topic “Government”. It kicks started with a PPT by the students explaining to him what they have learnt about the unit. Then the students shot questions at the Minister.

I am appointed by the Chief Minister .As long as our party is in power and the Chief Minister wishes, I will be in my post.

• Can you make the decisions on your own or should someone accept it?

If yes, who is the person?
There are 285 posts and 15% of MLAs are selected by the CM. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi President of National Congress Party and cabinet should accept it.

• What role did you take for the cyclone affected people? What was your response to them?

The cyclone “Nilam” created a lot of damage to our state and destroyed 20,000 acres of farms. My duty is to give those clothes, rice and Rs 5000 to each.

It was indeed a great learning to the students.
