SANGAREDDY: Collector S. Suresh Kumar advised the students to achieve excellence in whatever field they enter, so that they can become masters.

Addressing a gathering of students after felicitating the students of backward communities who secured good marks in Class X examinations in Sangareddy on Monday, Mr. Suresh Kumar said that fixing a target would motivate them to work in that direction. He has also congratulated the parents who encouraged their wards to study and stay on the top despite financial problems.

Informing that they were unable to fill the vacancies as there was a dearth of teachers under ST Women category teacher posts, he suggested the parents to educate their girls and not to marry them off till they complete graduation. Those who were felicitated included P. Harika (561 marks), V. Karthik (550 marks), K. Anil Kumar (546 marks), L. Vedavathi (537 marks), P. Devender (552 marks) and B. Anusha (544 marks).
