“The Koitur Bata’s alumni from 2008 and 2009 batches gathered at Ramannapalem village in Chintoor agency in Alluri Sitarama Raju district on Sunday to celebrate their success in various fields. They also lauded the efforts to bring out books on Koya culture and literature,” said Ms. Bheemamma in an official release.
The alumni recollected the challenges they faced during their formative years at Koitur Bata. They also felicitated teachers Pandu Kamtekar, Tellam Krishna and M. Satyanarayana and Ms. Bheemamma during the celebrations on Sunday.
