Somepalli Somayya Vanavasi Vikasa Seva Kendram

Hi,
This is one of the interesting Tribal projects which is done by committed people of Kurnool(Andhra Pradesh).Please Click for more details.

Somepalli Somayya Vanavasi Vikasa Seva Kendram (SSVVS Kendram) was inaugurated on 18th Nov, 1999 in the premises of Sivaji Sphoorthi Kendram, Srisailam and later on 14-12-2002 it was shifted to its Own Premises at Gokavaram (Land and Construction of Buildings Donated by Late Sri G.Pulla Reddy, Kurnool). This centre is one of many seva activities under taken by Seva Bharati all over INDIA.

Amongst the (533) scheduled Tribes communities existing in the country, Government of India identified (75) tribal groups as PTG (Primitive Tribal Groups) considering their low level literacy, declining or stagnant population, pre-agricultural level of Technology, and economic backwardness. In Andhra Pradesh (12) groups amongst (33) ST groups are identified as PTGs. CHENCHUS is one such group living predominantly in (6) districts, with a population of 40869 as per 1991 census districts are: Guntur, Prakasham, KURNOOL, Mahaboobnagar, Nalgonda, Ranga Reddy. Chenchu population in kurnool district inhabiting in (36) chenchu Goodas is about 8000.

This center is intended to plan and execute welfare schemes for the benefit of Tribal Communities.In this connection a small group of us went round about 20 tribal villages. Our preliminary survey revealed that the Chenchu are badly in need of development when compared with the Society around. This promoted us to plan a dedicated effort, to take care of their welfare and thus SSVVS Kendram came to Existance for the upliftment of the Cenchus.
