Remembered Teachers and Schools that have brought into Livelihoods and Leadership work. Krsnam Vande Jagadgurum.
Apart from Parents, Siblings, Co-learners, mandated learning facilitators, my teachers included my places. Gundrampally, Sunkenpally, Choutuppal, Sarvail, Hyderabad, Sagar, Warangal, Guntur, and Anand. By the time I reached IRMA, I got hooked on to Development work. IRMA might have sealed it in some sense. Kurien, Anjeja and Miss Patel removed any possible reversals, I guess. It was a tortuous journey.
Krishna Rao, a tutor, who brought me into the world of letters; The admission in Class 2, the failure but promotion to Class 3; Damodar Reddy, head master, who along with my father, let the school grow as I grew in the school from Class 3 to Class 7 every year; Damodar Reddy again, who searched my Sarvail call letter. For a selection test based on good block level academic merit in Class 7. The call letter was in the dustbin and he picked it up and sent it to me; prepared me for the test. Dr Jeelani and Dr Babu, who let me stay in their place and learn their ways, while I was going to Choutuppal High School waiting for Sarvail to call me.
Sarvail Grukulam, AP Residential School, first in the country by any Government, has found me fine for it. A second rank in Telangana in the selection test and called me in. It made the first discovery and invested in me to get National Talent Search Scholarship and Mathematical Olympiad. More about Sarvail soon.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has been modified in Development World. The sequential flow up is not very relevant. One can go to top as a matter of ‘will’. Venkat Kantheti confirms the same in a Leadership Pyramid – Survival, Success and Transformation. Leaders can operate at nay level by their will and choice.
