In a major impetus to the State government’s endeavour to boost infrastructure in government schools, a new building of the government primary school, constructed by Chalimeda Janaki Devi Memorial Trust at an estimated cost of ₹2 crore under the Mana Ooru Mana Badi programme, was inaugurated at Malkapeta village of Konaraopet mandal of Rajanna Sircilla district on Friday.
The government primary school, which hitherto functioned in an old building with space constraints, got the new spacious building with modern amenities on a par with corporate schools, three days ahead of the reopening of schools for the new academic year.
Speaking after inaugurating the building, MA&UD Minister K. T. Rama Rao lauded the philanthropic gesture of former Law Minister and the Chairman of Janaki Group Chalmeda Anand Rao for constructing the new building for the government school in his native village.
