Vijay Deverakonda Rashmika Mandanna Encourage Government School Students at Scholarship Event

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna joined students in Achampet, Telangana, to celebrate academic excellence through scholarships awarded by The Deverakonda Foundation. The initiative aims to support meritorious students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds pursuing their education in government schools.

Speaking at the event, the Animal and Mysaa actress said it felt meaningful to launch the scholarship programme in Thummanpet and Achampet, places closely associated with Vijay Deverakonda’s family roots. She encouraged students to continue learning irrespective of success or failure. With a smile, Rashmika admitted that she was never a top ranker in school and told the students that they had already surpassed her academically.

The Kingdom actor revealed that neither he nor his wife were rank holders during their school days. For him, the initiative was about celebrating perseverance and hard work rather than just academic scores. He emphasised that focus, discipline, and determination matter more than marks and can help anyone achieve success.
