Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu has significantly contributed to society by adopting several schools in Hyderabad through her NGO, Teach for Change. The initiative aims to provide quality education and support to underprivileged students in the region. A total of 167 schools have been adopted, benefiting around 16,497 students.
As the Managing Trustee of Teach for Change, Lakshmi Manchu plays a crucial role in overseeing all the day-to-day activities related to the programs under Teach for Change. The organization works closely with the selected schools, offering training and support to teachers. They are actively involved in designing and creating an audio-video curriculum, generating reports, and assessing the children’s progress.
Lakshmi Manchu believes in expanding the reach of Teach for Change to other regions in the future. She stated that they have smart classrooms established in Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Yadadri, Srikakulam, and Gadwal districts and are actively considering other districts to implement smart classroom initiatives and make a difference in the lives of more students.
Lakshmi Manchu emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and NGOs like Teach for Change to improve the education system in India, particularly in rural areas where attendance is currently low.
