Eluru District Collector K. Vetriselvi has directed officials to make elaborate arrangements for the mega parents-teachers meeting scheduled to be held on July 10 across all schools and junior colleges in the district.
In a video conference held on Sunday with officials from various departments, the Collector reviewed the preparedness for the event. She informed that the programme would be conducted in 2,368 schools—including 1,810 government and 558 private institutions—and 140 junior colleges.
She instructed that invitations be printed and distributed to parents and prominent community members to ensure their active participation. The event should be conducted in a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, with a strong turnout from students, parents, and dignitaries, she emphasised.
Ms. Vetriselvi directed that all students attend in proper school uniforms and that a cheerful and celebratory environment be maintained throughout. Given the anticipated large turnout, she stressed the need for safe and hygienic meal arrangements. Fire safety protocols must be strictly implemented in school kitchens, and fire services should remain on standby to prevent any untoward incidents.
Mass tree plantation drive
As part of the programme, a mass tree plantation drive will be undertaken. The Forest Department has prepared 1,64,170 saplings, which will be distributed to schools through nearby nurseries. Students will plant these saplings on their respective school premises.
The Collector also instructed private school managements to conduct the event with equal enthusiasm and to organise preparatory meetings. A special control room will be set up to monitor the arrangements. All event-related activities—including preparations and real-time execution—must be documented and updated on the LEAP App.
Health check-ups
Meanwhile, the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) informed that health check-ups have already been completed for 1,54,113 students in government schools, while screenings for junior college students will conclude within two days. Health cards are being prepared for distribution.
