Key Addresses

Sri M.V.V.S. Murthy (Senior Principal): Emphasized that while English is a modern necessity, students should not neglect their mother tongue. He advised learning at least one Telugu poem a week to build moral character and language fluency.
-
Sri Pamidikalva Madhusudhan (Chief Guest): Highlighted polyglots like Puttaparthi Narayanacharyulu (master of 14 languages) to show that learning multiple languages broadens literary horizons. He urged daily use of Telugu to keep the language alive and preserve core human values.
