Speaking to ‘Telangana Today’, Rangaiah said he reduced the drop outs particularly among the girl children and increased overall enrollments in the school from 50 to 280. “I enrolled my children in the same school where I teach. After completing primary school, my daughter moved to another school while my son is studying in the same school. When the school did not have enough teachers, my wife had taught the children in the school,” he said.

To ensure students do not lose out on academics during the Covid-19 pandemic, Rangaiah said he introduced the Super 100 programme where select students teach their peers and lower classes in the school.

Overall, 44 teachers from across the country were chosen for the National Awards which will be presented on Teachers’ Day on September 5.
