The Hindu Foundation Day celebration at a Hyderabad school underscored the enduring influence of one of India's oldest newspapers in educational circles. The observance was facilitated by M.V. Nagavender Rao, former Executive Director of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), who has championed similar programmes across the region for more than ten years.
Rao, a dedicated reader of The Hindu, has made it his mission to encourage students and educators to engage with quality journalism and develop critical thinking through newspaper reading. His sustained efforts have helped establish The Hindu Foundation Day as a meaningful event in school calendars across Hyderabad.
The celebration highlights growing recognition among educational institutions about the importance of print media and journalistic integrity in an era of digital information proliferation. By organising such programmes, schools aim to instil reading habits and media awareness among younger generations.
The initiative reflects broader efforts within Indian educational communities to complement formal curriculum with exposure to quality journalism and current affairs reporting.
