Mr. Chaganti Venkat Reddy (Founder & Chairman)

Mr. Chaganti Venkat Reddy had got that great idea to have a school in those days in Tadepalli village when children were severely handicapped in not having a school nearby. Intuitively he felt the potentialities of the rural children and decided to start a school of his own on his own farm which extended to five acres of area. And he has been there like a rock, from morning till night guarding the spirit and the ethos of goodness and service of Aravinda.

By the end of 1990, Late Ch. Chandra Sekhar Reddy B.E.& Mrs. B. Indrani M.sc. M.Ed, shouldered the school to aid their father. Agricultural cultivation was totally given up and school spread its wings the whole area.

He is a visionary who has created an institution that today is living, dynamic, growing, and evolving!!

Late CH. CHANDRA SEKHAR REDDY, the Director of the Aravinda Group of schools, has set a milestone in the field of education in and around Vijayawada. He imbibed the true spirit of education from his father Mr. Ch. Venkata Reddy and with the ardent support and encouragement from his sister Mrs. B. Indrani, and his wife Mrs. Ch. Padmaja conquered the multi-facet of education and proved that the arena of education has to undergo a revolutionary change. For this great cause, he invited the help and service of all the like-minded people and appealed to his staff to render unselfish and tireless service for the upliftment of society through properly channeled and guided education.

This great visionary guided his team to a great position. It won't be too exaggerating to say that he had brushed out all the ailing compartments and gave new life and enthusiasm to it. He always highlighted the need for creative and innovative learning that suited the temper of the students. His enthusiasm to provide the best quality education compelled him to ensure the children with the best possible infrastructure with furnished and spacious classrooms. He always believed and made sure that his children should not lack anything in school.

Now the school is equipped with a full-fledged computer lab, Language lab, Science lab, LCD hall, and Library with thousands of books, Excellence in education is calculated in the modern world when children excel in different levels of competitions. The potentials of competition among city dwellers are much higher than the rural. So to prove the rural students are not behind anyone he proudly guided the school into the “SAHES” group and proved their real mettle.

He always approached his team of teachers in a spirit of conciliation and urged them to work hard. His skill of drawing hearts towards him never made them go astray from him. The magical bond he never broke even in times of crisis.

Though he set his foot in different realms of education he never neglected the ordinary task of daily classroom teaching and learning. He always ensured that learning must be the outcome of a stress-free environment. In order to cast out the spells of stress and tension he always encouraged the different intramural competitions consisting of sports, athletics, and fine- art events. He made sure that each event had brought in a festive fervor of joy and pleasure. He took the risk of adorning the festivals of school with the presence of an eminent person who could motivate and inspire the students in their life.

The frequent interactions with the students made him win their hearts. This always brought out many glooms in the students. The support and the encouragement that he rendered made the mall forget their worries and look forward to prosperity. He often turned to be an affectionate father to the inmates of Aravinda Hostel. The gentle smile, affectionate queries, gaiety walk always reminds us all that he was the real King of Aravinda (Lovingly called as Raja) whom no one can imitate or replace in any form.

A man of great vision, ideals, and ambition has completed his voyage ahead of us showing the path that we have to voyage through.

Mrs. B. INDRANI, the Principal of Aravinda schools, has set a milestone in the field of education in and around Vijayawada with the ardent support and encouragement from her brother Mr. Ch. Chandra Sekar Reddy conquered the multi-facet of education and proved that the arena of education has to undergo a revolutionary change.

A seed was laid two decades ago to make the village children of the surroundings of the current Aravinda, literates. That was the strong intention of opening a school in my father’s own fertile land. Since its inception, hundreds of children have completed their schooling and settled in various professions. Today the Aravinda alumni are in successful positions all around the world.

During the years of the evolution of the school, my brother dedicated himself to better the system of education passionately. He invited eminent people to ignite the minds of the children. He also put all his selfless efforts to balance academic excellence and creativity. After his demise, the school with its core group today, continue working and carrying the Spirit of Raja Sir !!

The parents are happy with the inputs and opportunities are given for the  holistic development of their children in Aravinda, With all the two decades of experience  and my visits to various best schools in India and also meeting the great educationists I have been seriously  thinking of reconstructing the curriculum , teacher’s training and processes of learning.
