Collector’s early morning visits: A wake-up call to boost SSC exam prep | Hyderabad News
Hyderabad: As the SSC examinations draw near, a district collector in the state is literally knocking on students’ doors to ensure they are up and ready to study. Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district collector M Hanumantha Rao is going the extra mile by making early morning visits to students’ homes, giving them a unique ‘wake-up’ call to help them prepare for the upcoming exams.
On a recent morning, at the crack of dawn, Hanumantha Rao knocked on the door of Bharat Chandra in Kakanalagudem village in Samsthan Narayanapur mandal. At 5 am, the collector greeted Bharat and his family, checking if he was awake and preparing for his SSC exams. He asked Bharat to bring his study materials and inquired about his progress.
The collector didn’t stop there. He also spoke to Bharat’s mother Vijayalaxmi, asking if the school had called to remind them to wake up and study. She confirmed that a teacher had, in fact, made a call. The collector learned that teachers, like him, were also making personal ‘wake-up’ calls to students’ homes to encourage them to rise early and stay focused on their revision.
In addition to his words of encouragement, Hanumantha Rao presented Bharat with a personal gift of Rs 5,000 for his exam preparations, along with a chair and writing pad. He urged the student to put in his best efforts and not neglect his studies.
A Group 1 officer from the 2007 batch, Hanumantha Rao became an IAS officer in 2013. His hands-on approach to motivating students showcases his commitment to their success, emphasising that a little extra effort can go a long way.
The collector’s early morning visits to schools are making a profound impact on SSC students. These visits have quickly become the talk of the town and brought a sense of excitement and positivity among the students. “When we see our collector visit our home so early in the morning, it feels like our hard work is being noticed,” said an inspired student from a local govt school. “It pushes us to work harder and believe in our potential,” he added.
