Closed since 2021, British era school in Nellore to reopen on July 6
Tirupati: IT and HRD minister Nara Lokesh will re-open the famous British era VR school in Nellore on July 6. The 150-year-old school was shut down in 2021 during the erstwhile YSRCP regime.
Municipal administration minister Ponguru Narayana, who studied at the school and also started his teaching career from the same institution, vowed to revive it if NDA formed the govt in Andhra Pradesh.
The minister kept his promise and put all efforts to revive the school after NDA won and formed the govt. With Nagarjuna Construction Company extending a financial assistance of Rs 15 crore under its CSR activities, the school campus has undergone a complete revamp in the last few months.
With international standard classroom infrastructure and amenities in place, VR school opened for admissions recently and close to 1,000 students from economically underprivileged sections of the society were provided admissions for this academic year. Narayana said Lokesh will formally re-open the school on July 6.
