Owing to the efforts of Sullia Taluk Panchayat member Ashok Nekraje, a government higher primary school at Devarahalli near Subrahmanya was reopened with the admission of six children.

“Some more students in the vicinity will be admitted to the school”, Nekrajesaid.
This year, six children were admitted to class 1 and 2.

Nekraje, along with the villagers, had appealed to the BEO to reopen the school, after passing a resolution in the Taluk Panchayat.
