Community Development Program
We are also believers of the
fact that,
the prosperity of India lies in the well being of our
700,000+ villages. As you know, we have so many things that we can do
for the poor in our villages. Hence, PCT started a
Community
Development Program in 2003.
We are now in the process of working with other
NGOs
who have already been doing great work for our villages.
The fortunate thing is we do not have to reinvent the wheel
all over again. Just learn some proven ideas
and concepts from the successfully implemented projects and
try to apply them to the villages that are near to us.
Various Projects till
date:
Water / Sanitation
Project,
Duppada Village, Vizianagaram Dist.
AP (Jan
2009)
PCT has proudly taken part (by contributing a small amount
of INR 50,000) in this much needed project to provide Water
Supply & Sanitation Facilities around the clock in a poor
and heavily congested area of this village. The community
that will be served is a Scheduled Caste colony (400 people
reside here) of Duppada Village near Vizianagaram.
Dr. Prakasam Tata of
Bharathi Theertha Trust, Vizianagaram has been instrumental
in designing this project and also obtaining a grant from
The Rotary Foundation under

Free Eye Care Camp,
Yeleswaram
Village, E.G.Dist. AP (Jun 2007) With
the help of Sri Kiran Institute of Ophthalmology,
Kakinada, PCT coordinated the Eye Camp for the poor
villagers in and around Yeleswaram village. There were
130+ people screened for possible eye diseases out of
which 25 poor people were operated for Cataract surgery.
PCT made sure all 25 people were going to the follow up
exams to the hospital after the surgery. Sri Kiran
hospital was kind enough to provide the required
transportation.

Help for a Poor Family in Kurnool, AP
(Jul 2006)
On July 31st 2006, we found a sad news on
Eenadu Internet Edition about a poor family (Pullaiah, Jyothi
& their only child) in Kurnool district. Mr. Pullaiah
is a blind man and his wife Jyothi is a daily labour.
They do not have a place to stay. For last couple of
years, they've been living in a local farmer's toilet.
They do not have any financial means to send their
child to Govt. school. We are fortunate to help this
family.

Free Diabetic Camp,
Yeleswaram Village,
E.G.Dist. AP (Dec 2003)
As our first effort towards this process, we were successful in conducting
a free medical (diabetic) camp in Yeleswaram village and treated 120 diabetic
patients. Each one of the patents was issued a report of his/her current diabetic score,
medicines for immediate control of the disease and the directions for follow up exams as
necessary.
Pictures from the Medical Camp
We are planning for many more and bigger programs in near future and really appreciate if you
can think of helping us in any way you can.
There are many NGOs
already working towards the rural transformation. PCT is
trying to tie up with some of them to inherit the proven ideas
and concepts and apply them to the villages that we will be
concentrating on.
