And given wonderful opportunity to serve the society. As well as to help my village school. My heartfelt thanks to MHFI and S&P Capital IQ management for supporting, encouraging me until the work is completed. It was an unforgettable movement ever in my life to serve my own village school that to help by our company. Actually this is my childhood dream to serve the society. So that by the help of our company, I could able to complete my dream a bit. I am thankful to volunteers for their valuable time, enthusiastically to serve the society.

Venkatreddy : As a part of EVG program, we visited the Ragimekalapalli village, Ananthapur dist. of Andhra Pradesh. Sivaiah Boya one of my collogues has taken up the project for the welfare of the school where he studied in his childhood. The main objective of this project is to provide some facility which they were deprived of till now. Shiva went to his village before two days and made proper arrangements for the main event in which we have participated on 7th Feb,2016. For his school he provided water purifier and a water storage tank by which it’s become more convenient to store the water and students can have potable water with this one time investment. The school teachers and the MEO are very supportive and actively taken part in the inauguration of the water equipment such as small motor, water tank and purifier machine. To encourage the students about technology we provided them with two latest computers. We also distributed the notebooks to the students and the school staff. MEO delivered speech of overall development of children by following which, one can be successful in her/his career. The students have actively participated in the programs in which we conducted with enthusiasm. I mark the day as one of my best days spent whereby I learnt something and suggested few things to the students. Hope more of this type of programs will be attended.

Sampat Kumar : Started with GVD and the expansion of the projects never stopped. Now it’s the time for EVG where the motive of service has expanded throughout the nation. First of all I would like to thank each and everybody who are part and parcel of this coveted program. Kudos to the efforts made by Vandemataram foundation to arrange such a massive project successfully. I am fortunate to participate in one of the projects that has been taken up by my collogue Mr. Sivaiah Boya at his native village named Ragimekalapalli in Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh. The program was fixed well in advance and to do the basic ground work Shiva went to his village two days before the event day. I along with two more employees of the ownership department started our journey day before the event and reached the village with the sports kits and note books which need to be donated to the school students. Though it was a Sunday (7-Feb-2016) all the staff members and most of school children attended the event where by the village MEO inaugurated the water purification unit in the school premises and delivered a good speech with which the students motivated the most. We the volunteers also give some direction towards the career development. Then we distributed the note books to the students and conduction some singing and storytelling competition. Over all the day was spent in and around the school students. We enjoyed a lot ourselves. At last in the evening we bid farewell to the students and returned to Hyderabad. Hope I will attend more no. of such programs in the coming future so that I can return something to the society with a feel of pride.

FEEDBACK OF THE BENEFICIARIES:

Aruna (Head Master) : I am Aruna, working as a head master in M.P.U.P school, Ragimekalapalli.

About the Project: Aided Primary School, Chammachintha is located in Visakhapatnam district which is nearly 600 KMs from S&P Capital IQ, Hyderabad. In this school, nearly more than 70 students are studying. All the students from economically backward and financially poor families. And more than 75% students are the children of daily labor families. This school has one building with one complete room and one hall only where 1^st to 5^th standard classes are running. As it is not sufficient to run 5 classes of 70 students in one building, the staff of that school constructed a hut and using it for two classes temporarily. They are not also getting funds from Govt. for infrastructure and development of the school. This school’s H.M. Satyababu sir approached us and requested for financial support to construct an additional classroom which is most required right now. If S&P Capital IQ do so, it will be more helpful to the students to overcome many problems and study well.
