Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna Fulfill Promise to Support Students
Tollywood's beloved couple, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, are staying true to their word as they advance with a commitment made earlier this year after their marriage. They announced their intention to support students from government schools in Telangana.
Vijay Deverakonda took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to share that he and his wife Rashmika Mandanna were traveling to the village of Thummanpet, the birthplace of his father.
Star Couple Supporting Students Through Education
The actor expressed joy in seeing their dream gradually become reality. He 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."
Gestures like these are always appreciated from influential people who can make a meaningful difference, especially at a time when the education system can feel burdensome to students.
He also revealed the list of 180 students. The star couple announced this initiative through the Deverakonda Foundation. They decided to support students in Classes 9 and 10 across 44 government schools in Thummanpeta.
Through this initiative, the foundation ensures that school fees are paid on time and helps students receive notebooks and other study materials.
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda got married following Telugu and Kodava traditions in a grand yet intimate ceremony in Udaipur, attended by close family and friends.
