Panchayat Union Primary School (PUPS) in Gummalapuram village is located near Karnataka-Tamilnadu border. Affordability and accessibility to quality education is an issue in the area and in many nearby villages. The whole stretch is a beautiful agriculture/greenhouse zone spread across 2000 acres of land and there are more than 5000 migrant labours, predominantly from Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha working on the field. And many locals (primarily women) are employed in garment factories.
Looking at the potential to serve the underprivileged section of the society, Aikya team decided to support the school with quality education.
