| Mahindra Satyam Foundation implemented a long term rehabilitation program for 56 flood-affected families of Ayyavaripally village. |
|
| Floods pose a grave threat not only to one's life but also to one's lifestyle. More so is the case of the people who reside in rural India, devoid of ample support. In October 2009 the devastating floods caused by river Krishna, washed away the belongings of 56 families in Ayyavaripally village leaving them stranded, homeless, and hungry. |
|
For their rehabilitation, Shri. Jupalli Krishna Rao - Hon'ble Minister for Endowments, Govt
of A.P. had granted 3 acres of land in Chinnambavi village for construction of pucca houses. This is when Mahindra Satyam Foundation adopted Chinnambavi village to support these people who were displaced from their village due to floods. The foundation facilitated a complete rehabilitation of these victims right from allotment of land, construction of pucca houses to provision of other infrastructure
and support facilities. This project was funded with the help of contributions received from Mahindra Satyam Associates. |
|
| May 8, 2010 became a momentous day for these 56 families as they received Pattas meaning land titles in Chinnambavi village. After the allotment of land, Bhoomi Puja was performed to signify an auspicious start for the construction of houses. |
|
| We collaborated with ASSIST, an NGO to collectively construct 56 houses for the beneficiaries. Other integrated services provided to the villagers include sewage connections, public taps, a reverse osmosis drinking water supply plant and solar powered street lighting. |
|
 |
|
| Today, those 56 flood-affected families don't just reside in their new, well-built pucca houses but also enjoy a new lease of lifestyle. |
|
| The unique attribute of this project is our ability to facilitate the provision of clean drinking water and solar lighting in such a remote village like Chinnambavi. This project is also among the very few projects to be completed within the stipulated time frame. |
|
| Nurturing seeds in
the community so
they can flower their
own way with dignity,
honour, and equality. |
