About the Project: Suravaram village is located in Srikakualm District, Santakaviti
Mandal which is 800 KM from our Hyderabad Office. Nearly 150 students are there
in the village and most of them are backward classes and their parents are
daily wage labor and farmers, hence they are struggling to purchase various
types of books, magazines regularly to develop their knowledge, employment
guidelines and competitive exam books to develop and for their better career. Hence
our villagers are happy to have a Library as we don’t have library in
surrounding villages also. Hence it is our villagers’ humble request to start a
Library through EVG project by our Kind natured organization S&P Capital IQ.
I am proud to say one of the villagers (Mr. Vempala Annajee Rao) from the
village donated one room to use for Library in Suravaram Village and Sri Sathya

maintenance charges like power bill and all other regular maintenance charges
