On August 12, 2025, Nirmaan Organization, with the unwavering support of Carrier Technologies India, proudly inaugurated the newly transformed ZPHS & MPPS Posanipet schools under the School Adoption Program, a key CSR initiative.

Empowering Mulugu: A Village-Led Transformation in Madanapalle

August 7, 2025

Village Adoption Program – Igniting Change in Mulugu

Change becomes meaningful when it’s led by the people it touches.

We’re excited to share a powerful milestone from Madanapalle village in Mulugu district, where more than 2900 individuals are set to benefit through the Village Adoption Program. This initiative is the result of several weeks of on-ground engagement, listening to the community, and working hand-in-hand with them to co-create sustainable solutions.

With the wholehearted involvement of women, youth, and local leaders, we’ve formed a Village Development Committee (VDC) that will guide and own the transformation journey ahead. Livelihood support has been planned for five women and five youth, solar street light locations have been finalized, and upgradation of the community school will be addressed. A dedicated space for a community library has also been secured.

We’re also preparing to roll out digital and financial literacy sessions to equip the community with essential skills, and we’ve received strong support from the VDC to begin implementation.

This journey is a testament to what’s possible when trust, participation, and purpose come together. One village at a time, we’re building a stronger, self-reliant future.

Thank you, Synopsys Inc, for always stepping up to support initiatives that are the need of the hour. Your commitment to the Village Adoption Program will create meaningful, sustainable change in government schools and communities. We deeply appreciate the leadership of Bijay Chowdhury and Narendra Korlepara in making this transformative project a reality.

State Street Volunteers Brighten Young Minds in Geddalahalli

On August 1st & 2nd, 2025, 25 dedicated State Street volunteers brought our Backpacks for Dreams 2.0 campaign to life at Government Lower Primary School, Geddalahalli, Byrathi, Karnataka.

On the first day, we set up our workspace to pack 170 school kits, complete with notebooks, pencils, pens, and sketchbooks. Each kit was made heartfelt by a hand-painted greeting card, complete with study tips and uplifting messages.

The next morning, those 170 backpacks found their way into the eager hands of students in Grades 1–5. Their wide-eyed smiles and whispered thanks reminded us that sometimes it only takes a simple notebook and a few kind words to spark confidence and a sense of belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to every State Street volunteer whose time, paintbrushes, and smiles made this possible. We’re proud to stand alongside you and the students of Geddalahalli on their journey to learn, grow, and dream.
