Hyderabad: District in-charge Minister Danasari Anasuya Seethakka on Tuesday laid the foundation stone for a new Zilla Parishad Boys High School building in Kamareddy. The Kamareddy school building project was sanctioned at a cost of Rs 5 crore.

Public representatives, Congress leaders, officials, teachers, alumni, students and parents also joined the programme.
Shabbir Ali, who studied at the school in 1971, recalled his time as a student and spoke about his connection with the institution. He said the school had shaped both his personal life and public journey.
He said returning to the campus and meeting former classmates, teachers, alumni and current students was a memorable experience. According to Shabbir Ali, school memories remained important even as people moved ahead in life.
He also said he had raised the school’s infrastructure needs with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. As a result, he made special efforts to secure Rs 5 crore for the school’s development.
Kamareddy school building to get upgraded facilities
The Kamareddy school building will replace the existing structure with modern facilities, Shabbir Ali said. The planned infrastructure will include upgraded classrooms, digital learning facilities, computer labs and laboratories.
In addition, the project will provide other essential facilities needed for students and teachers. Shabbir Ali also offered personal assistance wherever required, apart from the funds sanctioned by the government.
“This is the school where I studied. It is not merely an educational institution for me, but the place where the foundation of my life was laid,” he said.
He added that the school had a lasting place in his life. He also expressed hope that its students would build successful careers, achieve greater heights and later support their school and society.
Shabbir Ali said former students had a responsibility to support the institutions that educated them. He stressed that such contributions could help schools improve while preserving their connection with alumni.
“The building may change, but the memories this school gave me will never change,” he said.
The foundation programme marked the start of work on the new facility. The project was aimed at improving the school’s physical infrastructure and providing better learning facilities for students.
Shabbir Ali also recalled the role of teachers, classmates and school memories in shaping a person’s life. He said students should remember their institutions even after achieving success.
The programme brought together elected representatives, government officials, school staff, alumni, students and parents. Their participation highlighted the wider community interest in the development of the school.
