Warangal: Rundown Mahabubia High School saddens MLA Nannapuneni

Warangal: His love for alma mater, Mahabubia High School, hasn't diminished a bit even though it's been more than three decades from the time he had completed his schooling.

Since then Nannapuneni Narender had a meteoric rise from impoverished student to a lawmaker. Even though he had scaled new heights politically from Corporator to Mayor, and eventually becoming the MLA from the Warangal East constituency, Narender has always concerned about his school and his classmates in which he studied from Class VI to SSC between 1983 and 1988.

He went emotional on Tuesday when he noticed the kind of pathetic situation the school was in. "It was not expected. I tried my level best to develop the school when I was the Mayor of the city. And it's high time to focus on the school." He spoke to teachers and assured them to provide adequate funds for the development of the school.

"Mahabubia High School would be developed on par with the infrastructural facilities the corporate institutions have. A committee exclusively for the school development would be formed," Narender said. A bank account in the name of Mahabubia High School Development Fund would be opened and the District Collector or District Education Officer as its custodian to collect donations from alumnus and philanthropists for the development of the school, he said.

Starting English medium classes in the school is also on the priority list, the MLA said, urging teachers to prepare an action plan to protect the school. He clarified that there was no proposal to change the name of the school as 'Mahabubia High School' itself is an identity. Teachers, retired teachers and several alumni were present.
