Kamareddy District: A government school that was in a dilapidated condition at Parmal village in Lingampet Mandal, Kamareddy district, has received a new lease of life with the inauguration of a new school building. With the support of Telangana Development Forum USA (TDF USA) Atlanta Chapter, a new school building with four classrooms was inaugurated under the “TDF – Mana Telangana Badi” project.
Responding to the appeal made by village residents and teachers, Telangana Development Forum India (TDF India) President Matta Rajeswar Reddy and Joint Secretary Sushil visited the school and reviewed its poor condition. Moved by the situation, the TDF USA team decided to adopt the Parmal government school through its Atlanta Chapter. Financial support for the project was extended by TDF USA President Srinivas Manikonda, along with Swathi Soodini, Thota Ganesh, Vani Gaddam, Vikram, and other members.
Teachers expressed gratitude, stating that despite repeated requests to the government in the past, no assistance was received. However, TDF responded promptly and completed the construction of four classrooms along with essential basic facilities within a short span of time. Villagers and local representatives appreciated TDF’s commitment to improving education in remote rural areas.
Speaking on the occasion, TDF India President Matta Rajeswar Reddy said that under the Mana Telangana Badi project, government schools in remote regions are being identified and provided with necessary infrastructure. He also recalled that during the tenure of former TDF USA Chairman Gade Gopal Reddy, TDF prepared the “Status of Education in Telangana” report and submitted it to the government. He said Revanth Reddy, the Chief Minister of Telangana, appreciated the report and encouraged TDF to prepare a similar study on higher education, which was later completed and submitted by a team of experts, Joint Secretary Sushil added.
Former TDF USA President Kavitha Challa and Atlanta Chapter member Vani Gaddam advised students to excel not only in academics but also in sports and cultural activities. Former TDF USA President Dr. Divesh Anireddy and TDF India Vice President Pati Narendra Reddy emphasized the importance of health and sports for students.
The newly elected Sarpanch and Deputy Sarpanch thanked TDF for undertaking such a meaningful development initiative in the village. Assuring continued support, TDF India President Matta Rajeswar Reddy stated that TDF would extend cooperation in the future in the areas of education, women’s development, and healthcare.
The event was attended by Dr. Divesh Anireddy, Kavitha Challa, T. Vani, Pati Narendra Reddy, Matta Rajeswar Reddy, Sushil, Thota Ganesh, Vani Gaddam, Mandal Education Officer Shoukat Ali, TDF executive members, teachers, village elders, and local residents.
