Three students of Paramita Heritage School were felicitated by the school management after they returned from their nine-day trip to the USA where they attended an international conference at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Two other students of the same school will be leaving for the USA on Sunday to visit NASA. It may be recalled that the Go for Guru, NASA, Florida Institute of Technology and Astronaut Memorial Foundation had conducted essay writing competitions at the school in February 2019 after which 25 from the school were selected for the educational tour to NASA. They were the only ones from Telangana to be selected. Overall, 826 students were selected throughout the country to visit the space agency.

In the first phase, Paramita students T. Vamshikrishna, Sriharsha and J. Ashok Reddy visited the USA. They have urged the government to set up research labs in all schools through ISRO to help students realise their dreams of becoming scientists and astronauts. Their school mates S. Manidheer and G. Revanth will fly out on Sunday.
