Addressing the gathering on the occasion of the birth centenary of Dr. Ramalingayya on the college campus, Mr. Chiranjeevi said, “The young generation can learn many lessons from the life of Dr. Ramalingayya, who was a practitioner of homoeopathy.”
Recollecting his association with Rajamahendravaram, Mr. Chiranjeevi said, “My first movie, Punaadi Raallu, was shot in and around Rajamahendravaram.”
The government college had been named after Dr. Ramalingayya in the 1980s. He had also offered financial assistance to the institution.
