The minister, alongside Cultural Advisor Chaganti Koteswara Rao, engaged with students at Akundi Lakshmi Smaraka Goshala in Kakinada during the 'Bharateeyam' initiative, which aims to instill moral values among students. Lokesh encouraged the students to be resilient enough to accept failure and strive for success, emphasizing the importance of determination in overcoming any obstacle. He stated, \"You should be strong enough to accept failure and strive for success and be determined to face any problem.\" The minister highlighted that moral values in education would contribute to the overall progress of the education system in the state. Regarding the restriction on politics and political activities in schools, Lokesh clarified that schools have distanced themselves from politics by removing images of the Chief Minister and Education Minister from school books and materials. He advocated for the adoption of moral values and urged students to show respect and salute soldiers wherever they encounter them, emphasizing that soldiers are true heroes for the country.",
