The Andhra Pradesh Government recently organised the Viluvala Vidya Sadassu with spiritual orator Chaganti Koteswara Rao. Several school students attended the session, and Education Minister Nara Lokesh sat on the dais.
You could see the focus on bringing values into education.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu appointed Chaganti as the Advisor for Students' Ethics and Values. The aim is simple. Students will now receive regular lectures that link learning with ethics and discipline. The idea earned strong support from people across the state.
In the previous Government, Advisor posts were used as political rehabilitation centres. Supporters and smaller leaders were rewarded with salaries and perks. Merit was ignored, and caste and political loyalty took priority. People still remember how these posts were misused.
Chaganti's appointment received applause. Speakers like Chaganti and Garikapati have a strong following in both Telugu States, making the choice a strategic move. You can see why many called it a masterstroke.
After accepting the role, Chaganti declined the Government salary and perks. His decision highlighted humility and increased public respect for the appointment. It also strengthened the image of a sincere initiative rather than a political favour.
The Viluvala Vidya Sadassu in Vijayawada was well organised. Chaganti delivered a meaningful discourse that connected easily with students. You could tell the event achieved the Government's goal of encouraging ethical thinking in classrooms.
Nara Lokesh sat slightly away and took notes throughout the lecture. His focus showed how seriously he approaches his responsibilities. It sent a message about intent and commitment to the role he holds.
Videos from the program went viral on social media. They helped spread the message of ethics and also promoted the Government's initiative. The reach increased as people shared clips across platforms.
Chaganti also spoke about Chandrababu Naidu's mother and an essay he wrote in school about a fox and a pig. He addressed old political comments and explained how she preferred peaceful life in Naravaripalle instead of city circles and power spaces.
His narration offered clarity that TDP never shared earlier. The program worked both for its core purpose and politically. Lokesh should plan more such events to strengthen this approach.
