Nerellapudi Tribal Village Transformation
Nerellapudi Tribal Village Transformation
A Five-Year Commitment to Education, Community Service, and Giving Back
Launched in October 2026, the Nerellapudi Tribal Village Transformation Project is a five-year Siri Foundation initiative to strengthen education, improve the village school, and support the local tribal community.
Located about two hours from Visakhapatnam, Nerellapudi is a remote village accessible through challenging terrain, trekking paths, and water crossings. On October 15, 2026, Siri scholarship students and volunteers made their first visit, collectively contributing over 250 hours of community service.
This is more than a one-time service effort. Over the next five years, Siri students will build a lasting relationship with the village through educational mentoring, school improvements, and community development activities.
The project reflects a core Siri Foundation value: students who receive support are encouraged to give back, creating a circle of opportunity that extends beyond themselves.
October 2026 – Nerellapudi Village School: The existing basic school structure was built through personal contributions from Siri Foundation volunteer Damayanthi Teacher and a few other generous supporters. This is how we learned about the need.
Phase 1: Learning Pavilion and Outdoor Classroom
Phase 1: Learning Pavilion and Outdoor Classroom
As our first major initiative, Siri Foundation plans to transform an unfinished school structure into a functional learning pavilion and outdoor classroom. - target to complete by June 2027
The proposed design includes a covered classroom with a blue roof, a teaching wall with a blackboard, half-height walls for natural ventilation, and finished flooring extended into an outdoor learning courtyard.
The expanded space will provide a welcoming environment for daily classes, after-school tutoring, group activities, and community gatherings.
Our goal is to create a flexible learning space where children can study, explore, and grow—both inside and outside the classroom.

Thursday Oct, 15, 2026 - What an inspiring day of service!
The Siri Foundation team woke up early, trekked through challenging terrain, crossed streams, and spent all day connecting with students and their parents in Nerellapudi village. Together, they contributed an incredible 250+ hours of community service in a single day!
But this is just the beginning!
A special thank you to LVN Sir and Damayanthi Teacher for introducing us to this worthy cause and inspiring us to take the first step.
Proud of our Siri Foundation kids! Your efforts remind us that real change begins when we show up, care, and take action. Stay tuned for a brighter future for Nerellapudi!
