Murukulu and Karjelu to tickle Telangana taste buds
Murukulu and Karjelu to tickle Telangana
taste buds
DC | Pillalamarri Srinivas | June 09, 2014,
Adilabad: People in Telangana had led a struggle for separate
statehood to the region as they wanted to experience self-governance and for
self-assertiveness. The Telangana activists also lamented that their culture
and tradition, which is quite different from that of the Andhra people, was
getting concealed in the ‘dominance of the latter’.
Hence, after the formation
of separate Telangana, people launched celebrations in a grand manner which
continued for a week that included programmes to revive the culture and
tradition. Women took out processions with ‘batukammas’ and ‘bonalu’, an
exclusive tradition observed by the females in the region.
Similarly, the
festivities also included T food festivals wherein snacks and dishes, which
originated and are mostly like the sole property of the region, were put up for
people’s taste buds. The T snacks varied from ‘karampusa’, ‘karjelu’,
‘murukulu’, ‘gavvalu’, ‘sarvapindi’ to ‘gudalu of pesarlu and bobbarlu’.
Many other food items, apart from the authentic biryani, have also been put on
display at the food festival at the festivities.
The food habits
and tradition serve to be unique identity of people belonging to a region. The
food festivals, which were organised as part of the festivities, helped in
reviving the culture of the region. K. Satyanarayana, a resident of Shantinagar
in Adilabad town who attended the festival with his children said that they
enjoyed eating all the special and rare Telangana items. “My children some
special dishes for the first time in their life at the food fest,” he added.

DC CORRESPONDENT | September 13,
2014
ADILABAD: The Telangana state government has plans to convert
anganwadi centres in village and towns into play schools, under the KG to PG
free education scheme. Further, kinder garten sections (LKG and UKG) in English
medium will be introduced in the government schools.
The officials are working out on
modialities to convert anganwadi centres into play schools. For this, the
anganwadi centres will be transferred to the education department from the ICDS
in health department. In the play schools, the kids would be provided with
quality nutritional food, toys and play things.
That apart, the centres would also
have the interiors decorated with cartoon characters painted on the walls and
other festoons hung from the ceilings. Gardens would also be grown in the open
spaces at the centres, wherever it is possible.
Teacher MLC Pula Ravinder said the
state government would convert the anganwadi centres into play schools from the
next academic year. Efforts are on to make the education system equip Telangana
students to face global competition, he said.
He said, “Uniform education system
will be introduced in Telangana like in America where both a senator’s child
and common man’s child study in the same government school.”
The state government is planning to
introduce KG to PG free education from the next academic year. The state is of
the opinion that it would be good to introduce English medium in government
schools from pre-primary sections in view of the increasing demand.
As many as 3,540 anganwadi centres
are functioning under 18 ICDS projects in Adilabad district and only 40 per
cent of these are running in government buildings. The remaining are housed on
rented premises.
Nutritional food is being provided
to pregnant and lactating women under the limits of 12 ICDS projects under
Indiramma Amrutha Hastham scheme and nutritional food called ‘Balamrutham’ is given
to children below 3 years.
