Tourism and Culture Minister Kandula Durgesh announced that the government will conduct mock assemblies in every district. During his visit to the Amaravati Balotsavam at Siddhartha College in Vijayawada, he interacted with students taking part in writing, speaking, dance and drawing contests. He praised children who appeared in cultural and historical costumes. In addition, Durgesh appreciated the organisers for handling the festival with remarkable commitment.
According to the minister, the coalition government aims to build a strong and value-driven education system. The education department, guided by Minister Nara Lokesh, is introducing several innovative ideas. Because of these efforts, the recent mock assembly on Constitution Day gave students a real understanding of democratic practices. It also strengthened their leadership skills and deepened their knowledge of legislative procedures.
Furthermore, Durgesh expressed hope that the three-day Amaravati Balotsavam would run smoothly. The event encourages creativity, environmental awareness and responsible habits among children. He stated that participating in such a meaningful programme felt like an honour. Festivals of this kind, he noted, help shape discipline, confidence and imagination in young learners.
The minister also highlighted the government’s educational support. Through the Talli Ki Vandanam scheme, mothers receive annual financial aid for their children’s studies. Outstanding students are recognised under the Shining Stars initiative. With regular parent-teacher meetings and new moral-value lessons by experts like Chaganti Koteswara Rao, students are gaining clearer direction. Consequently, the government hopes to prepare them for leadership in every field.
