Education for women is a top priority in the state's development plans, according to Andhra Pradesh Minister Kondapalli Srinivas. The government has been trying to reduce the differences in access, facilities, and opportunities for female students in the rural and semi-urban areas of Andhra Pradesh. 

Srinivas was addressing during the Saturday opening of several development projects in this area, including as the ₹43 lakh modern science lab and the ₹1.92 crore new hostel building at KGBV.

In order to increase academic performance for girls attending KGBVs—residential schools designed to educate the poor and disenfranchised female children—the new infrastructure is therefore expected to not only provide safe residences for the kids but also enhance classroom instruction.

Additionally, Srinivas reaffirmed the government's commitment to basic utilities by launching drinking water delivery projects in the Bondapalli and Gajapathinagaram mandals. 

Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, he said household tap connections were now provided to each household in the region, with an investment of ₹125.4 crore that improved the quality of life of every family and student.

He termed the KGBVs a boon for girl students. Many of the students passing out from these institutes are doing well in academics and some bring international recognition, he added. 

He emphasized that education is the first step towards women's empowerment and urged all female students to take advantage of the government's possibilities. According to Srinivas, unpaid invoices to the contractors caused a delay in the 2019 completion of the KGBV school building's inauguration. 

“After our government took charge, we resolved the issues, cleared the bills and ensured that remaining works were completed,” he said.

He saw to it that Andhra Pradesh stood by the long-term vision of the government so that future generations of women would be confident, educated, and empowered contributors through the strengthening of girls' education
