1. About Us

Gnana Saraswati Foundation is a group of like minded and highly motivated individualspresently engaged in the task of village level reforms with temple & government school asnerve centre.

The Foundation wants to revitalize the village life on the lines of our ancient villagecommunities with Government schools at the centre. We are striving to link the eminentlysuccessful individuals from the village to participate in the process in their respective villages,thereby bringing the much-needed social capital minus the profit motive. With the school in thepicture, the much needed moral oversight is sought to be bought in apart from increasing the

role of school from a mere place of education to a centre of man making and a vibrant village.We firmly believe that a developed Bharat is not feasible without people's participation. It iscertainly not possible by only a profit motivated enterprise. Hence this small step.

Our Foundations activities are primarily located in 8 mandals of Ranga Reddy District. Thesemandals are located on the east side of the rangareddy district located about 40 kilometres fromthe city towards Nagarjunsagar/Srisailam

We also want to further this experiment in other areas of the village life, step by step. The

challenge on hand is over whelming and cannot be handled all at the same time. But we are of the firm opinion that the field cannot be left unchallenged to profiteers, over burdenedgovernment and vested interests
