President's Message

I am honored to share the journey and mission of Action for Rural Development (ARD), an organization dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities since 1996. Our commitment to empowering women, unemployed youth, and underprivileged children in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, remains unwavering. By focusing on sustainable development, we aim to create lasting change in the lives of those who need it most.

Our self-help groups have enabled women to achieve financial independence through skill development and entrepreneurship. Education remains at the heart of our mission, with free tuition centers and scholarships ensuring a brighter future for children. We also prioritize youth employment through vocational training and job placement assistance, equipping them with essential skills for self-sufficiency.

Healthcare is another crucial aspect of our work, as we conduct free medical camps and awareness programs on maternal health and sanitation. Our support for farmers includes training in sustainable farming techniques, financial aid, and market linkages. Environmental conservation remains a key focus, with afforestation drives and water conservation efforts enhancing rural resilience.

We also extend our efforts to legal aid, disaster relief, and leadership training, ensuring that communities can advocate for their rights and participate in governance. Through our initiatives, we are building a self-reliant and empowered society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

I express my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, partners, and community members who make our work possible. Together, we will continue to strive for sustainable and inclusive development, bringing hope and progress to the most vulnerable sections of society.

Warm regards,

A. Keerthi Sowjanya President,
