Students will be groomed in academics, sports, says Collector
East Godavari Collector Ch. Hari Kiran on Monday laid the foundation stone for the Ekalavya Model Residential School to be built in 15 acres at Veta Maamidi village of Addateegala mandal in Rampa Agency.
The Central government has granted ₹20 crore for the school that offers the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus from class VI to Intermediate.
The State government has allocated the 15-acre site for the school and will develop the necessary infrastructure. Ninety percent of seats are reserved for the Scheduled Tribes of Andhra Pradesh and the rest are given to eligible aspirants from non-tribal communities.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
