Laveru (Srikakulam District): Childhood is a treasury of sweet memories, and moments spent revisiting them are priceless.

He eagerly looked at the classrooms and benches where he once studied and acknowledged that this school laid the foundation for his life. He embraced his old friends and enquired about their well-being.
As the school has completed 50 years, special discussions were held regarding its Golden Jubilee celebrations. The MP interacted with alumni on how to organize the celebrations in a grand manner. He assured them of his full support for the development of the school.
The MP also spent time interacting with current students, sharing his personal experiences and explaining the value of education. He encouraged them by saying that with determination and hard work, anything is achievable. He stressed need for providing better infrastructure in government schools and reminded everyone that shaping future citizens is a collective responsibility.
