The Governments should provide health and education to all for free of charge, observed former Vice-President of India Muppavarapu Venkaiah Naidu while participating in an inaugural program of K-Ridge International School at Narasaraopet town in Palnadu district on January 17.

Mr Venkaiah Naidu observed that while teaching the lessons to the students, the teaching faculty should inculcate values ​​in their education at school and college levels. He advised the students to embrace mother tongue (Telugu) first and go for the brother language (Hindi) and then for foreign language (English). He said that students could easily understand the subjects in their mother’s tongue, which would help in acquiring knowledge. He said that education should be converted into knowledge and then only the students would get the best opportunities at global level.

On the other hand, Narasaraopet Lok Sabha member and YSRCP leader Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu suggested the K-Ridge management to recruit local skilled persons as faculty in the school. He assured that the Vignan’s University is ready to offer required training to the eligible faculty for that purpose, for free.
