Two Nellore Teachers Selected for Finland Training Programme
Two school teachers from India are going on a special trip to a faraway country called Finland.
Their names are Mr. Dominic Reddy and Dr Chennayya, and they teach at government schools in SPSR Nellore district.

All of them won the State Best Teacher Award, which Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu presented on September 5, 2025.
