Amaravati, December 07, 2025: The Government Polytechnic for Women in Nellore's Dargamitta area teeters on the edge of collapse after four decades without major overhauls. Walls sport deep fissures, ceilings drip during monsoons, and floors buckle underfoot, while shattered windows, wobbly desks, and faulty wiring heighten risks for 180 young learners.

Toilets stay filthy with no clean water nearby, fueling health scares and study slumps. Principal Yesu Das has fired off pleas for a fresh ₹9.40 crore C-Block to the Technical Education Director, backed by parent S. Venkateswarulu's ignored letters to officials until a PM hotline nudge sparked a Chief Minister's Office probe. Yet, Director G. Ganesh Kumar cites zero wiggle room in the 2025-26 ₹15 crore kitty, already overrun by prior pledges.
