Social service by TRS cadres on KTR birthday
Local MLA Arekapudi Gandhi was the chief guest at the birthday celebrations of TRS working president K Tarakarama Rao in Hafeezpet/Madhapur divisions on Wednesday.
Serilingampally: Local MLA Arekapudi Gandhi was the chief guest at the birthday celebrations of TRS working president K Tarakarama Rao in Hafeezpet/Madhapur divisions on Wednesday. Attended by Corporator V Pujita Jagadishwar Goud, Gandhi distributed tiffin boxes to 186 sanitation workers of the two divisions.
Several 'seva' programmes, like providing mid-day meals for 1,500 students in Shantinagar, Gangaram, Madinaguda, Old Hafeezpet, Ambedkarnagar (900 students) and in Adityanagar, Kanamet, Izzatnagar, Gokul Plots, Chandranaik Thanda (600 students), gifts to meritorious students of 11 government and Urdu medium schools, presentation of cycles to top students of fourth and fifth classes and water bottles to students of classes one to three, were arranged in the divisions.
Speaking at the birthday functions, Goud stated that KTR's call for gift-a-smile challenge to mark his birthday was evoking a good response in the Twitter. She pledged to provide whatever assistance possible to the poor.
The corporator pointed out that KTR as a minister and now as the TRS Working President was promptly responding however busy he might be to public appeals for assistance – "Every month KTR is helping 20-30 persons." Pujitha said she had herself been inspired to take up service programmes and to participate in the gift-a-smile programmes. She observed that helping the maximum number of people as part of the challenge was the real gift to the TRS leader.
