Being a volunteer of CIM Project, first I would like to say my special thanks to CIM Leaders (i.e. Mr. Venkata Swamy Vallakati & Mahesh Goudigama) for the opportunity and successful completion of this project. It was a wonderful opportunity to guide the students on understanding their responsibilities towards the society, and balancing of their personal and social goals. The students were very enthusiastic and knowledge seeking. Their active participation enabled us to guide and train them with energy. I enjoyed the interaction with them a lot.

Vittal (Shivaipally Village Sarpanch)

Thank you S&P Capital IQ management for providing library. It is very useful to my village students and other educated people. It would look very small in your perspective, I am sure the effect of it will be very in the lives of the villagers. You also guided us about the importance of education and studying the newspaper and books.
