Founder's Message

I am Dr. Kurraboyini Simhachalam, and I come from the heart of our tribal community. Born and raised in the rich tapestry of our cultural heritage, I have witnessed both the beauty and the challenges that our people face every day. It is with a deep sense of responsibility and commitment that I embarked on a journey to create change and uplift our community. In 2011, fuelled by a burning desire to address the flaws and disparities plaguing our tribal area, I founded the Girijana Yuva Pragathi Welfare Society.

This organization stands as a beacon of hope, dedicated to fostering progress and empowerment in every facet of our community's life.

Our mission transcends boundaries, encompassing vital areas such as education, health, nutrition, water, agriculture, entrepreneurship, skill development, and the protection of tribal rights. These pillars form the foundation upon which we build a brighter future for generations to come. Through relentless dedication and unwavering determination, we strive to break the shackles of poverty, ignorance, and marginalization that have hindered our progress for far too long. Our aim is not merely to provide aid, but to instil a sense of self-reliance and dignity within every member of our community.

As the founder of Girijana Yuva Pragathi Welfare Society, I am humbled by the opportunity to serve our people and to be a catalyst for positive change. Together, let us march forward with courage and conviction, knowing that our collective efforts will pave the way for a prosperous and equitable future.
