Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, Barrackpore, Kolkata Leaders Message

Rev. Dr. G. V. Prasada Rao

Rev. Dr. G. V. Prasada Rao

Founder

The joy of Samuel Paulas Gidla and Ananthama Gidla knew no bounds when, in the humble village of Yelswaram, Andhra Pradesh, they welcomed their fourth child—a child destined to touch countless lives. From his early years, Rev. Dr. G. V. Prasada Rao was guided by deep compassion and a relentless commitment to uplift the underprivileged. He dreamt of a society where education would be the true equalizer, and he spent his life making that vision a reality.

His remarkable journey led to the establishment of inclusive educational institutions that transcended linguistic and social boundaries, offering instruction in Telugu, Oriya, Bengali, and English throughout West Bengal. In 1984, his boldest vision came to life with the founding of Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, nestled in the heart of Barrackpore. Today, DMHSS stands tall as the best school in Barrackpore, a proud symbol of Achieving Excellence for All.

Dr. Rao’s mission was not limited to academics—it was a life of unwavering service to the poor, the sick, and the voiceless. His legacy of kindness, leadership, and vision continues to inspire generations of Douglasites, who carry forward his values of compassion, character, and service

Mrs. Suseela Gidla

Co-Founder

Affectionately known as “Guru Amma,” Late Mrs. Suseela Gidla was the heart and soul behind a mission that reshaped the educational and humanitarian landscape of Barrackpore. As the Co-Founder and former President of Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School (DMHSS), she stood as a pillar of faith, humility, and boundless compassion, walking hand in hand with her husband, Rev. Dr. G.V. Prasada Rao, to bring their shared dream to life.

A true champion of the marginalized, she dedicated her life to serving orphans, widows, and the poor—not through words, but through tireless action and unshakable love. Her legacy continues to live on through DMHSS, now recognized as the best school in Barrackpore, committed to Achieving Excellence for All and transforming lives through education, empathy, and empowerment.

Whether quietly praying in the sanctuary of her church or teaching parables that touched both young hearts and old, her wisdom was gentle, her presence healing. A revered educator at a Telugu medium school in Titagarh, she instilled values of discipline, compassion, and integrity—planting seeds of purpose in every young mind she touched.
