Devarapalli Prakash
Rao, a tea seller at Cuttack Bakshi Bazar was conferred with Padma Shri award
in 2019. The reason is that despite being from a poor background, he teaches 80
children. His sole income comes from selling tea. He has been selling tea for
the past 50 years. His meagre income did not stop him from imparting education
to poor children.
He opened a small
school ‘Asha O Ashwasana’ and asked slum parents to send their children to the
school. His school is upto class three and after that, he takes the effort to
get them admitted into a government school.
