Vivekananda Reddy, a Class IX student from Ramagiri mandal in Peddapalli district, is preparing to climb Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak. He will be accompanied by his father, renowned mountaineer and Guinness World Record holder Mahipal Reddy.
Chillapalli in Manthani mandal was honored with the second-best women-friendly panchayat award for the year 2022-23. The Collector received the award on behalf of the panchayat, which included a cash prize of Rs 75 lakh. The Collector announced that the prize money would be used for the village's development, and emphasized that further initiatives to promote women's development would be undertaken in the future.
Collector Koya Sree Harsha instructed officials to conduct awareness programmes with doctors in Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalaya, Model schools, Gurukulam schools and hostels to educate students about disadvantages with drugs and other narcotics.
In what can be described as a path-breaking decision to teach a lesson to those who do not take care of their aged parents, authorities have cancelled the gift deed of land done by an elderly man in favour of his son after the latter began to neglect him.
Collector Koya Sree Harsha instructed the officials to pay special focus on the maintenance of residential schools and social welfare hostels in the district.
