On Tuesday, he held a meeting at the SV Arts College conference hall with DEO Sri Venkata Sunil, principals, and headmasters of TTD colleges and schools.
Speaking on the occasion, the JEO stated that under the guidance of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu, TTD Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu, and EO Sri Muddada Ravichandra, several initiatives are being undertaken in educational institutions. He emphasized that teachers should work together to impart not only quality education but also knowledge, skills, and values to shape students into good citizens.
He pointed out that supervision, guidance, and special attention are necessary to help students achieve better academic results. Students should be grouped based on their abilities, ensuring each group has a mix of all types of learners, so that talented students can assist others.
Teachers should teach lessons in a way that is easy to understand, pay special attention to weaker students, and if lessons are taught effectively, 100% pass results can be achieved in examinations. He also stressed the importance of focusing on employment-oriented courses and the new education policy.
From the coming academic year, teachers should update the syllabus on time. Digital teaching methods and smart classes should be utilized, with lesson plans prepared in advance. Students should be provided with career guidance and counseling, and their progress should be continuously recorded. Feedback from students and parents should be collected, with attention also given to student welfare.

Sri Anjaneya Swamy in Ontimitta blesses his devotees in the form of **Sanjeeva Rayudu**, showering them with his divine grace. This sacred site holds immense mythological significance, where the Lord is revered as a protector for all his followers.
In Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple of Vontimitta, Lord Rama is seen holding the ‘Kodandam’ (bow), with Goddess Sita and Lakshmana on either side. This represents a scene from the *Aranyavasa* (the period of exile in the forest). According to the Puranas, Hanuman had not yet met Lord Rama during that specific period. This is why there is no idol of Anjaneya Swamy inside the main Kodanda Rama temple.
Mythological accounts suggest that a Rama temple is akin to Vaikuntam (heaven) descending to Earth. Hanuman, wishing to serve his Master as a humble servant, resolved to stand directly opposite his Lord. Consequently, Anjaneya Swamy is stationed as Sanjeeva Rayudu facing the Vontimitta Rama temple, where he continues to bless the devotees.
The name ‘Sanjeeva Rayudu’ has its roots in the Ramayana. During the Rama-Ravana war, when the Vanara army was slain and Lakshmana fell unconscious, Hanuman crossed the Himalayas to reach Mahendragiri and brought four types of “Sanjeevani” (life-restoring) herbs. Hence, the Lord here is addressed as Sanjeeva Rayudu.
Furthermore, it is believed that Sri Anjaneya Swamy also resides on the lake embankment (*Cheruvu Katta*) to protect the devotees. There is a deep-rooted faith among the people that the Lord protects those traveling through water bodies or paddy fields from any life-threatening dangers. Locals believe that Sanjeeva Rayudu cures physical and mental ailments and bestows his divine compassion upon all.
