The Para Association for Rural Development (PARD) announced the continuation of its Venkatapati Vidya Deevena initiative, offering free coaching for civil services and other competitive exams to deserving, economically disadvantaged students.
VHP Palnadu district president B. Ravi Kumar, Dr. Lakshmaiah IAS Study Circle Chairman P.V. Lakshmaiah, and others attended a review meeting of the initiative on Saturday at the Veterinary Polyclinic Complex in Guntur. Participants discussed student intake, accommodation and infrastructure, and reaffirmed their commitment to providing free, quality education to underprivileged aspirants.
As in previous years, the academic coaching will be provided by Dr. Lakshmaiah IAS Study Circle.

The entire academic responsibility will remain with Dr. Lakshmaiah IAS Study Circle.
Admissions will be processed through WhatsApp, with applications accepted until March 1. An entrance examination will be held on March 5, and classes will commence on March 10. Interested candidates can get more details by messaging on 7842054669.
