Report - School Annual Day Celebrations: 2016-2017

The prestigious Government High School for Boys (Training College) celebrated its 134th Annual Day on 17th February 2017. Kurnool S.P. Ravi Krishna garu, an alumnus of 1980 batch and City Commissioner Vijarama Raju garu attended as chief guests. Alumni from various batches (even from 19030s-1940s) attended.

The Head Master of the school presided over the meeting and informed about the students achievements during the past 2-3 years. He also mentioned the various developmental activities taken up with the support of Alumni and the Government.

The chief guests and alumni presented awards and prizes for the class toppers and winners in sports.

City Commissioner Vijayarama Raju garu appealed the Alumni to get together and consolidate their efforts to uplift the school into an advanced educational institution. He was fascinated to know that it is one of the oldest institutions in South India with a glorious history of 134 years. He mentioned if the school teachers and Alumni can come up with some good ideas to develop the school, playground, etc or to develop it as an historical monument, he can extend his support to speak to corporate companies in Rajahmundry such as ONGC, GAIL, International Paper and obtain funds from CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programme.

Kurnool S.P. Ravi Krishna garu delivered an inspirational speech telling his past experiences in the school and the discipline imbibed to students by great teachers like Koteswara Rao garu. He sang an energetic song also to enlighten the students on the imporatance of netradaanam (eye donation).

I have also attended the celebrations on the request of Ch. Prabhakar garu, a senior advocate and a 1972 Alumnus of the school. I was very delighted to see a lot of alumni supporting the school and the fervor of school teachers in leading the school with utmost dedication. I spoke in the meeting and informed that our batch (1995) will also extend support to the school. I have advised the students to study well and learn good habits at this age. I have also advised the school administration and students to be proactive and come up with their needs and address it to the Alumni.

Overall, there was a consensus among the guests that alumni from various batches need to put their effort together in uplifting the school to a next stage. This e-mail is one of the attempts to spread the news on a wider network (social media) and bring in more alumni to support the school.

My humble request to the alumnus who view this e-mail, is to submit your contact details (address, phone number and e-mail address). If you have any whatsapp group (or a Facebook page, etc) for your batch, please inform us so that I will try to consolidate the list. From our side (batch 1995), we have consolidated the Alumni list (English Medium) and trying to bring in the Telugu Medium batch also here.
