After their wedding in Udaipur, Vijay and Rashmika came back to Telangana with both traditional customs and a generous spirit. On March 2nd, 2026, in Thummanapeta, they did the Satyanarayana Vratam and a housewarming ceremony. Vijay announced a new scholarship for students in the area during this celebration.
Vijay Deverakonda Announces Scholarship Scheme
Vijay explained that the money for the scholarships will come from his charity, and will be for students in the ninth and tenth grades at 44 government schools in the Achampet Division of Telangana. He said the goal is to remove the money problems that can get in the way of students’ success in these important school years.
He announced this on stage with Rashmika and his mom and dad, and the crowd of fans and people from the village cheered loudly. This really showed how much Vijay and Rashmika want to link their own special occasions with giving back to the community.
Details of the Initiative and Local Impact
Ninth and tenth grade are the target for these scholarships because those years are very important for deciding what students do next in their education. Vijay described the program as a way to help families when they might be struggling with the costs of preparing for final exams and the stress of those all-important school years.
We don’t sure yet exactly how much money students will get, or how they’ll be chosen, but the program will be run by Vijay’s charity and the schools themselves. People in charge and locals have welcomed the idea, saying that scholarships like these can help students attend classes more often, feel more positive, and be better prepared for tests.
Homecoming Rituals and Community Response
The trip to Thummanapeta was very meaningful to Vijay and his family. The traditional ceremonies and housewarming made for a close, private feel, which was very different from the many people who came out to celebrate and the lively atmosphere.
Lots of videos and photos from the event were put on social media. Fans were happy for the couple, and praised Vijay for what he did, with some hoping he’ll become more involved in public life. People in the village were pleased to hear Vijay said he will visit more frequently.
Wedding Celebrations and Public Engagement
Before they went home, the newlyweds shared photos from their sangeet (a pre-wedding party) on Instagram. Rashmika included a sweet message with her pictures about family, surprises, and dancing all night. Vijay also posted relaxed photos that showed how happy and together they were.
They were married in a small, private ceremony with only family and close friends on February tewnty-six. Their wedding events will end with a private party in Hyderabad on March fourth, and lots of famous people from the film industry are expected to attend.
Implications for Education and Celebrity Philanthropy
Scholarships given by celebrities can get more attention and money for schools that need it, but they will only have a lasting effect if they continue to be involved. Programs that succeed usually have a clear way to choose students, ways to measure how well they’re doing, and work with the local school system.
Concentrating on the ninth and tenth grades makes a lot of sense, as those are the years that affect what subjects students choose and what opportunities they’ll have. If the scholarship is run well, it could mean fewer students dropping out, better grades, and inspire other prominent people to help with local education.
In Thummanapeta, Vijay and Rashmika combined their family traditions with doing something for the public, showing that celebrating and being responsible to the community can happen at the same time. The scholarship is a lasting, helpful addition to their very public wedding, and people in the area are now waiting for more details and when it will actually start.
