The Andhra Pradesh Minister for Industries and Commerce encouraged citizens to support those in need during several events in Kurnool.
Andhra Pradesh Minister of Industries and Commerce T.G. Bharath Gupta distributed artificial limbs and assistive devices to persons with disabilities at Nehru Nagar in Kurnool on Sunday, November 15, 2026. According to The Hindu, the programme was a joint initiative by the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samithi and the Kurnool branch of Bharat Vikas Parishad.
Minister Bharath Gupta stated that providing high-quality devices regardless of caste or religion helps individuals with disabilities lead independent lives and boosts their self-confidence. He praised the organisers for their consistent charitable efforts.
The Minister, accompanied by Panyam MLA Gouru Charitha Reddy, also attended a student encouragement programme at TGV Kalakshetram in C-Camp, Kurnool city. The Rayala Official and Professional Association organised the event, where scholarships and merit awards were given to economically disadvantaged students from the Balija community.
Bharath Gupta noted that scholarships prevent financial hardships from hindering education and advised the students to pursue their goals with discipline. He expressed hope that the recipients would study diligently to reach great heights.
In a separate event, the Minister provided various items to the Blind Foundation, including a washing machine, refrigerator, computer, desktop, keyboard, and office tables. These goods were provided through the Kurnool Exhibition Society following an appeal from the foundation's representatives.
The Minister also inaugurated the ACE Badminton Area Court at Doctor’s Colony, where he advised students to focus on sports in addition to their academic studies.
