The credit for fulfilling the promise made to the youth during the elections and paving the way for them through Mega DSC goes to the coalition government,” Pawan Kalyan wrote.

“Due to health reasons, I am unable to personally attend the DSC appointment letter distribution program. The immense responsibility of shaping students in government schools and paving the way for their future lies with the teachers receiving their appointment letters today. I hope you will perform your duties in that direction. Once again, heartfelt congratulations to the teachers who have shown their talent in Mega DSC – 2025 and are joining their roles,” he added.
