Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna Honour 180 Students Through The Deverakonda Foundation
Popular actor Vijay Deverakonda has once again won hearts with a thoughtful initiative aimed at encouraging education and celebrating academic excellence. The star recently took to X to share an emotional update about a dream project undertaken through The Deverakonda Foundation, revealing that he and his wife cum actress Rashmika Mandanna were on their way to Thummanpet, the village where Vijay’s father was born.
Sharing the update with his followers, Vijay wrote, “We are on our way to Thummanpet. The little village where my Father was born. In February – @iamRashmika and I had announced the beginning of a little dream of ours. To reward all the hardworking students of 9th and 10th grade from Achampet Mandal of Telangana. Here is a list of the 180 kids who made their parents proud.” The heartfelt message was accompanied by the announcement of the students who had been selected for recognition.
The initiative reflects the actor’s continued commitment to social welfare through The Deverakonda Foundation. Established with the objective of supporting communities through meaningful interventions, the foundation has previously undertaken several activities related to education, healthcare, and emergency relief. This latest effort focuses on motivating young minds and acknowledging the dedication of students who have excelled academically despite various challenges.
The programme specifically recognises meritorious students studying in the 9th and 10th grades across Achampet Mandal in Telangana. A total of 180 students earned the distinction through their hard work and perseverance, bringing pride not only to their families but also to their schools and communities.
Vijay’s decision to organise the event in Thummanpet adds an emotional dimension to the initiative. By returning to his family’s roots to celebrate the achievements of rural students, the actor highlighted the importance of giving back to one’s community and creating opportunities for the next generation.
The involvement of Rashmika Mandanna further strengthened the initiative, showcasing how public figures can utilise their influence to inspire positive social change. Fans and well-wishers have praised the duo for encouraging education and recognising the efforts of students at a crucial stage in their academic journey.
As the 180 young achievers receive their well-deserved recognition, The Deverakonda Foundation’s initiative serves as a reminder that celebrating hard work and nurturing talent can go a long way in shaping a brighter future for society.
