Andhra Pradesh | 18^th December,2025: Birla Open Minds recently took a heartfelt step toward nurturing young minds by organising a Book Donation Drive at Devireddy Sarada Reddy High School in Allur Mandal, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh. The initiative reflected the institution’s strong belief that education goes beyond classrooms and that access to books can open doors to lifelong learning.

Devireddy Sarada Reddy High School is a charitable institution established in memory of Ms Dodla Sharmila Reddy’s mother and currently supports the education of over 310 students from the local community. The book donation drive was conducted in collaboration with DSR Education and focused on students from Grades 5 to 10, aiming to encourage reading habits and ignite curiosity at a formative age.

As part of the initiative, students received a carefully selected set of learning resources, including English Language & Arts practice books, Hindi practice books, Soul Science books, and English Grammar books. These books were chosen to support both academic learning and personal development, helping students build strong language skills while also encouraging self-awareness and critical thinking.

Sharing his thoughts on the initiative, Mr Yatharth Gautam, Director & COO, Birla Open Minds, said, “Education begins with curiosity and grows with access. Books have the power to shape thinking, build confidence, and inspire children to dream beyond their surroundings. At Birla Open Minds, we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of circumstances. Through this initiative, we hope to nurture a love for reading and remind children that their potential is limitless.”

Ms Dodla Sharmila Reddy, DSR Education, added, “This initiative is very close to my heart, as it continues my mother’s vision of empowering children through education. She believed that true education builds not just knowledge, but character and compassion. Seeing these children receive books with excitement and curiosity reminds me why this journey matters. Our hope is that these books will inspire them to explore new ideas, express themselves confidently, and believe in their dreams.”

As an alliance partner of Birla Open Minds, DSR Education shares the same values of compassion, curiosity, and community contribution. Together, they continue to work toward creating meaningful learning experiences that support not only academic growth but also emotional well-being.

Through initiatives like this book donation drive, Birla Open Minds and its partner institutions reaffirm their commitment to enriching young lives, encouraging society to come together in support of education and the power of knowledge.

According to the students, the idea grew from a discussion on how everyday objects could be made smarter and more convenient. They spent weeks sketching prototypes, testing small mechanisms, and debating which features would genuinely help users rather than just look impressive. Their final model included carefully planned functionalities that combined hygiene, efficiency, and user comfort.

Their teachers guided them throughout the process, helping them refine their ideas and pay attention to practical aspects such as safety, structure, and usability.

Speaking about the achievement, Hon’ble Principal Mr Paljinder Pal Singh said, “This project is a reminder that when students are given the space to explore, question, and experiment, they can build solutions that are both meaningful and relevant. I am proud of the sincerity and curiosity they brought to this task. Their work shows that innovation begins with observation and a willingness to improve everyday life.”

The school acknowledges the sincere efforts of the students and the support team that contributed to the project’s success. Once you share the student names and grades, I can include them accurately.
