“It is an ample opportunity for the students who hail from underprivileged sections of the society to learn and shine with the new-age skills according to their interests,” says Vishnu Priya Malyala, executive director of File Media and Communications. She also added that the camp invites various journalists from local and national media to take training classes for students.

Sparkle 2023, coordinated by Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) is the first-of-its-kind initiative by the Telangana Government.

“I am really moved by the idea of TSWREIS to conduct summer training sessions for school students. I am happy with the response from the students and feel that we are moving towards fulfilling our objective,” said VN Ravinder, managing director at The File Media and Communications.

The camp is conducted at four venues in four different districts — TSWRS JC(G) Jam village in Nirmal, TSWREIS, Husnabad in Siddipet, TSWREIS, Hathnoora in Sangareddy, and TTWREIS, Tangellapally in Sircilla. The camp will end on May 6.
