Feedback of the CIM Volunteers:

Ajay Krishna Katakamsetty (Leader): I would like to convey my special thanks to CIQ management for giving me this opportunity to serve the society. I am extremely grateful to all the volunteers and also my special thanks to Co-Project Leader – Mr. Jaganmohan Rao Chintada for his co-operation in the successful completion of this project. The manner in which you all immersed yourself in to the role of volunteer was amazing. Your interaction with those underprivileged children will stay forever in their minds and it will certainly transform them into good citizens of tomorrow. The words of Gandhi reverberated in my ears- "If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children." I am very happy to play my part in this endeavor by spending time with the Next Generation.

The students are in real need of interventions like career guidance and life skills training to be competitive in the future.

Srinivasa Rao Ballada: We know many government schools run without minimum facilities this is true particularly in rural areas. However, It is very unfortunate that the Government High School in Sriram Nagar, in the heart of the Hyderabad city lacking basic infrastructure. There are many inconveniences, with respect to security to the school building, water facilities and furniture etc., found at the school. In my opinion, if we want to build good nation, we need to make every citizen educated so that they think what exactly they need to do to benefit them and their country.

The teachers and students were so happy and expressed their gratitude. Thanks to the S&P Capital IQ for providing support to schools like this.
