'Every School-Age Child Must Be in School' – Headmaster Timmareddy Leads Enrollment Drive in Medikonda
In an active effort to bring children back to school, Headmaster Timmareddy, along with a team of school teachers, visited the homes of children who have not yet enrolled or returned to school. This door-to-door campaign is part of the government's larger mission to ensure 100% school enrollment and retention.
Speaking on the occasion, Timmareddy announced that from this academic year onwards, all high school classes will be conducted in a newly constructed school building. He noted that the school had previously faced significant challenges due to the lack of classrooms, which affected the smooth conduct of academic sessions. However, with the new building now ready, the school is prepared to offer a better and more structured learning environment.
In addition to academics, students will also receive training in technical education and sports, giving them holistic exposure and opportunities to excel in various fields. 'We aim to utilize all available resources to provide quality education and develop skills among students,' said the headmaster.
He urged parents and guardians to take advantage of these improved facilities and ensure that every school-age child in the village returns to school and continues their education.
Along with Headmaster Timmareddy, several teachers and community leaders participated in the program, including teachers Ramanaidu, Narsimhulu, Abel, Jagadeesh, Ruth, Anupama, and Model School Committee Chairperson Radhamma. Their collective participation reflects a strong community commitment to promoting education and preventing child labor in the region.
This initiative is aligned with the Telangana government's broader goal to strengthen the public education system through infrastructure development, awareness programs, and community involvement.

Centuries-old baobabs get fresh roots in Chengicherla forest
Hyderabad: In a rare ecological breakthrough, the Telangana forest department has identified around 21 naturally regenerated baobab saplings in Chengicherla forest. The discovery is particularly significant, as most baobabs in the country are believed to have been introduced by African settlers more than four centuries ago. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Forest officials are now planning to translocate the saplings to a secure, isolated section of the forest. "They will be replanted and nurtured to form the core of what is set to become India's first dedicated Baobab Park. To ensure their survival, we are also consulting independent experts to design a conservation plan tailored to the slow-growing, drought-resistant species," said Sharat Chandra Reddy, forest range officer at the Chengicherla forest. The discovery was made during a field visit led by forest officials when one of the four baobabs in the area was felled due to pest infestation. "We were also accompanied by independent researchers specialising in baobab ecology. The saplings were found clustered around three massive, centuries-old baobabs, raising hopes that these iconic trees could be cultivated and sustained locally without relying solely on transplants," Reddy added. Hyderabad's baobabs—known for their bulbous trunks and extraordinary longevity—are under growing threat from age, environmental stress, and urban development, say tree experts. A recent survey by a local nature group documented 37 African baobab trees scattered across the city. The number includes a group of seven trees in the Aramghar area, with two of them inside the Jamia Islamia Darul Uloom and three inside the Zilla Parishad High School in Aramghar, with one of them having a girth of approximately 45 feet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This underscores both their fragile survival and their cultural significance in the urban landscape. If realised, the Chengicherla Baobab Park could become a one-of-a-kind ecological and cultural landmark, linking Hyderabad's past with a greener, more sustainable future," said Uday Krishna, an environmentalist from the city who wrote to the district forest officer of Medchal-Malkajgiri district urging conservation of the remaining baobabs. The idea of a Baobab Park at Chengicherla is not new. "Some years ago, actor Nagarjuna donated Rs 1 crore towards its development. However, only an ornamental entrance gate was built, and no further infrastructure materialised. But this new natural regeneration will provide the momentum needed to revive the stalled project. This is a pivotal opportunity, not just to preserve these heritage trees, but to cultivate their future population as a living legacy," said the forest beat officer of the forest.
