Computer Lab Development at Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS), Pasra, Telangana

Pasra Village, Telangana

Inaugurated on September 30, 2022

Background

The Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS), Pasra, holds a special place in the heart of Mr. K.V. Ramarao, Vice Chairman of Sumadhura Group, as it is the very school where he completed his higher education. Guided by the philosophy that no matter how far we grow, we must never forget our roots, Mr. Ramarao envisioned giving back to the school and community that shaped his early life.

With this heartfelt intention, he initiated a project to establish a fully equipped computer lab—a space where students could embrace digital learning and gain exposure to modern education. This act of gratitude and commitment to education reflects the core value of Sumadhura: to build communities, not just structures.

The project was inaugurated on September 30, 2022, in the presence of Mr. Ramarao’s father, the District Collector, family members, and the Old Students’ Association. It was a proud and emotional moment for the villagers, teachers, and students of Pasra, witnessing one of their own return to empower the next generation.

Sumadhura Group, under the leadership of Mr. K.V. Ramarao, designed and constructed a state-of-the-art computer laboratory for ZPHS Pasra, transforming two old classrooms into one large, modern digital learning center.
