Thorrur Lions Club brings computers to government school students
Headphones on and hands on the mouse, students in government schools across Thorrur and Peddavangara Mandals settled in front of their screens, ready to explore new ways of learning.
The 80 computers, worth ₹40 lakh, were provided by Infosys, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, through an initiative coordinated by Thorrur Lions Club, District 320F, under the leadership of Club President Nalla Krishnamurthy. They will give rural students greater access to digital lessons, online resources, virtual laboratories, educational videos, and digital libraries.
Smt. Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy, Member of the Legislative Assembly from Palakurthi, formally handed over the computers to headmasters and teachers at Annaram Road, Thorrur. Infosys representatives, Lions leaders, education officials and members of the teaching community attended the program. Praising Thorrur Lions Club and Infosys for the initiative, she underlined the importance of extending corporate social responsibility programs to rural and remote areas, where such support can directly benefit students.
Technology as a Pathway to Opportunity
Rapaka Swathi, Project Manager, Infosys, said the initiative aims to give rural students better educational and career opportunities. Parents in rural communities work hard to secure their children’s future, she observed, and that future increasingly depends on access to technology.
Rapaka Nagaraju, CSR Coordinator, Infosys, said the company would continue supporting rural schools. He also credited Thorrur Lions Club for its cooperation in implementing the program.
Reaching Rural Classrooms
Past District Governors Dr. Kunduru Rajender Reddy and Tammera Lakshmi Narasimha Rao, along with Sri Satyanarayana Murthy, District Educational Officer, Mahabubabad, spoke about the value of digital access for rural communities. Regular exposure to computers, they said, helps students build essential skills and prepares them for higher education and future employment.
By bringing technology closer to rural students, the initiative gives schools practical tools to expand learning beyond the traditional classroom.
