TTD is giving the highest priority to the development of education and healthcare and is committed to the overall growth of students, said TTD Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu. He presented "Pratibha Puraskaram-2026" awards to 147 meritorious students of TTD educational institutions at a grand function held at Mahathi Kalakshetram in Tirupati on Wednesday.
The Chairman said that, under the guidance of Hon'ble Chief Minister Sri N. Chandrababu Naidu, TTD is strengthening the education and healthcare sectors. He said nearly 20,000 students are studying in 33 TTD educational institutions, where quality education and modern facilities are being provided. He advised students to achieve great success through discipline, hard work and values.
TTD EO Sri Muddada Ravichandra said education is the greatest wealth that can never be taken away. He encouraged students, especially those from rural and farming families, to make the best use of the opportunities provided by TTD. He said TTD institutions are being developed on par with corporate educational institutions by providing qualified faculty, modern infrastructure, nutritious food and quality teaching.
TTD JEO Dr. A. Sharath said the presentation of Pratibha Puraskaram awards is a historic first in TTD's 150-year history. He said educational institutions are being modernised with an investment of Rs.162 crore, including digital classrooms, computer labs, CCTV systems and improved infrastructure. He added that yoga, music, dance and moral education are also being promoted with support from leading educational institutions.
TTD Board Member Smt. Panabaka Lakshmi encouraged students to excel in both academics and sports. Board Member Sri G. Bhanu Prakash Reddy said TTD has introduced 250 additional seats, a midday meal scheme for day scholars and new academic buildings. Board Member Sri N. Sadashiva Rao said modern facilities are being created in TTD institutions through the TTD Vidyadana Trust.
A total of 147 students, including 76 Intermediate students from SV Junior College and Sri Padmavathi Women's Junior College and 71 students from various TTD schools in Tirupati and Tirumala, were honoured. Three students of SPW Junior College—Pranavi, Utpala and Nehashree—were specially appreciated for securing 99% marks at the State level. Each awardee received a 5-gram silver dollar, memento, shawl and certificate of appreciation.
The students also took a pledge to respect their teachers, remain disciplined and work hard to achieve their goals. Later, the Chairman and EO interacted with the award winners and took a group photograph with them.
TTD Board Member Smt. Janaki, DEO Sri D. Phani Kumar Naidu, CPRO Dr. T. Ravi, Welfare Deputy EO Sri Ananda Raju, principals, headmasters, faculty members and students attended the programme.
TTD Additional Executive Officer Sri Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary has appealed to devotees to book Srivari Darshan, accommodation, Arjitha Sevas, and other services only through the official TTD website.
He advised devotees not to fall prey to false propaganda circulated through social media platforms, unauthorized websites, or middlemen. He cautioned that some fraudsters are exploiting the faith of devotees by creating fake websites and collecting money through illegal means, and urged devotees to remain vigilant against such scams.
He stated that all official information regarding Srivari Darshan, accommodation, Seva bookings, ticket releases, availability of cancelled tickets, details of various Darshan categories, and current waiting time is regularly updated on the official TTD website. He also said that authentic information is continuously being disseminated to devotees through SVBC.
For any queries related to tickets, devotees may contact the TTD Call Centre at 155257, where complete and authentic information will be provided.
He further advised devotees never to transfer money to middlemen or unauthorized persons under any circumstances and not to believe their claims.
If any middlemen, agents, or unauthorized persons approach devotees in the name of bookings, devotees are requested to immediately inform the TTD Vigilance Complaint Cell at 9866898630. He warned that strict legal action would be initiated against such offenders.
Reiterating TTD's commitment to transparency in Srivari services and the safety of devotees, Sri C.H. Venkaiah Chowdary urged devotees to avail all TTD services only through official channels.
