Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced that the Telangana government had decided to introduce foreign language training for nursing students to improve their chances of working abroad.
While interacting with students at a nursing college in Khammam district on Sunday, Revanth Reddy said the state would create facilities to teach Japanese, Korean and German. He said these skills were essential for students to compete in a global job market.
He said nurses trained in Telangana already had strong demand overseas. Moreover, he pointed out that several countries were facing a shortage of healthcare workers. As a result, qualified nurses had better employment prospects abroad.
The Chief Minister said the government would extend foreign language training support to nursing students across the state. This support, he added, would include students studying at Yedulapuram nursing colleges. According to him, language skills would help students secure jobs and adjust faster in new healthcare systems.
Foreign language training aligned with global demand for nurses
Revanth Reddy said Japan, South Korea and Germany had a consistent demand for trained nurses. Therefore, he said, knowledge of local languages played a key role in professional growth and workplace integration.
Referring to his recent foreign tour, the Chief Minister said many people abroad had praised Indian nurses. He added that the government wanted to convert this goodwill into concrete job opportunities through foreign language training.
He reiterated that the Congress government had given top priority to healthcare and education. Doctors and nurses, he said, formed the backbone of society. Hence, they required strong institutional support.
Expressing confidence in the youth, Revanth Reddy said nurses from Telangana would continue to enhance the state’s reputation worldwide through their skills and service.
