During his inspection, Mr.Harish Rao has asked tenth class students to recite tables, of which most of the students could not do it properly. He also questioned students individually and asked their names and made them write their names in three languages, Telugu, Hindi and English on the black board. However, some of the students made mistakes in doing so, even in Telugu language. This caught the attention of the minister towards their poor performance. He also asked students questions from their subjects as well.

Following the same, the minister has questioned the class teacher, why the students are in that stage and puzzled how the students would be able to compete with the world with their levels of study. He asked how will students even pass in the upcoming SSC (Secondary School Certificate) examinations, which are due March, 2020.

Apart from the students knowledge level, the minister has also inspected the mid-day meals.
