Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh reopens 150-year-old VR school in Nellore; Rs 15 crore support, 1,000 students enrolled
Minister Nara Lokesh with students TIRUPATI: The 150-year-old VR School in Nellore, which was closed in 2021, was formally reopened on Monday by the State Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister. Originally established by Sunku Narayana Swamy Chetty on 3 May 1875, the school has a rich legacy and was later supported by the 28th Venkatagiri Raja, V Rajagopala Krishna Yachendra Bahadur. The historic school had faced several turbulent phases and was shut down during the YSRCP regime in 2021. Now, under the TDP-led NDA government, the institution has been revived with an investment of Rs 15 crore, supported by the NCC Group under its CSR initiative. Renovated and upgraded to international standards, the VR School has now admitted close to 1,000 students from underprivileged sections of society. After inaugurating the school, HRD Minister Nara Lokesh visited the classrooms, interacted with the students and teaching staff, and also spent time at the playground. 'The legendary VR school has provided education to many stalwarts like former Vice president of India M Venkaiah Naidu, playback singer SP Balasubramanyam etc. Senior politicians like Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy and Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy had also studied at this very school,' Lokesh noted. Recalling that many had asked him about why he chose to head a difficult portfolio like education, Lokesh stated that it was his dream to transform school education in the state in a big way and listed out numerous initiatives launched by the AP govt to upgrade govt schools in the state to the standards of corporate schools. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo During the event, the HRD minister also felicitated Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy, Devireddy Sudhakar Reddy and NCC Director Raju for supporting government schools under the P-4 initiative.

Invest UP to organise roadshows in US, UK Europe to attract investment
The Invest UP will organise a series of global roadshows and strategic business engagements across the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom as part of its 'China plus one' strategy. (Pic for representation) The objective is to showcase state's investor-friendly policies, sectoral strengths, and readiness to host large-scale industrial investments from Fortune 500 companies and global leaders. The upcoming global outreach will feature high-level B2G (Business-to-Government) meetings and roundtable discussions in key cities including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Amsterdam, and Birmingham. These events, to be conducted in collaboration with Indian embassies and trade associations such as the US India Business Council (USIBC), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), aim to deepen engagement with global supply chain decision-makers. In the United States, state will engage with companies across multiple sectors—apparel (PVH Corp, Ralph Lauren, Coach), digital and cloud services (Google, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud), data centres (Equinix, Stack Infra), and consumer goods and manufacturing (Skechers, Mattel, TOMS, Jakks Pacific). The goal is to foster partnerships, explore joint ventures, and position the state as a competitive alternative for global production lines. Similarly, in Europe and the UK, Invest UP will connect with top firms in sectors such as automotive, chemicals, renewables, luxury fashion and footwear, food processing and life sciences. 'We are implementing a comprehensive strategy that includes sector-specific industrial policies, time-bound clearances, and sustained ease of doing business reforms,' said chief secretary, Manoj Kumar Singh. Combined with world-class infrastructure and a responsive governance model, these initiatives are positioning Uttar Pradesh as a preferred destination for both domestic and global investors. Our aim is not only to attract investment but to create long-term value chains and generate inclusive, employment-driven growth, Singh added. With over 33 sector-specific policies, a fast-track clearance system, and a responsive single-window platform, Uttar Pradesh has recorded the highest number of new factory registrations in India in 2024–25, underscoring the growing investor confidence in the state's reforms and opportunities, said the state government. By combining global outreach, progressive policy initiatives, and infrastructure readiness, Uttar Pradesh is well positioned to capitalise on the China+1 shift and emerge as India's next major manufacturing and innovation hub, added the government.
