Chitradurga: Scheduled Tribes Welfare Minister T. Raghumurthy, who is also the in-charge minister of Chitradurga district, visited the Higher Primary School in Kadabanakatte, Chitradurga taluk, where he studied as a child, on Children’s Day on Saturday.
The minister, who was on his way to Chitradurga and Challakere on official work, made an unscheduled stop at the school. The children, who were celebrating Children’s Day, were surprised to see a former student of their school, now a cabinet minister in the Karnataka government, walk in.
“I studied in class 1 in this school in 1967-68. I continued my education here till Class 7. This school taught me my first letters. What I learnt here took me to become an engineer. Today, as a minister, I am visiting my school for the first time,” Raghumurthy told the children.
He greeted the children on Children’s Day and distributed sweets. The minister enquired about the facilities available in the school and held discussions with Headmaster K. Sudarshan, teachers and staff.
Raghumurthy assured that steps will be taken for the all-round development of the school and the surrounding area, with special focus on environmental conservation and beautification of the school premises.
“Visiting my school on Children’s Day itself has filled my heart. This will remain an unforgettable and memorable day in my life,” Raghumurthy said.
