MONDI BANDA NAGAR (ADDAGUTTA) SLUM OVER VIEW
Mondi Banda Nagar Slum is located near Addagutta, behind R.R.C Ground, Secunderabad. Around 22 houses (hut) are there with a population of around 40 adults and 30-40 children. Most of the families belong to Cheruvupalli village, Guntur District. They are residing here from last 30 years. All are Rag picker’s (who collects/separates Plastic, Iron, Paper etc., from roads and dirty canals). They earn around 1000 to 1500/- per week.
They go to work at 4 A.M and return between 1 to 3 PM. Most of them are uneducated; they don’t think and take proper care about their children future and brought up. Their surroundings are full of dust and waste. So cleanliness, hygiene etc., are very low. It comes under a HARD CORE SLUM, where people are very rude, harsh and habituated to many bad habits.

ABOUT PROJECT “AKSHARAM”
We have different projects, in which we have a specific Project “AKSHARAM “targeting Slum Children to provide Education and Hygiene. As a part of this we have selected the Mondi Banda Nagar Slum located behind R.R.C. Ground, Secunderabad (Please refer the attached Sheet for total slum overview).
There are nearly 30-40 children who are not going to school. Their daily agenda includes begging, playing in the dust etc. Our Active volunteer Mr. D. Ranganath brought this to our notice and is very keen to work on this slum. Our Management Bench agreed to go on after considering the merits and demerits and having in-depth analysis about this slum ; its environment.
Mr. D. Ranganath and Team is working hard from past 2 months to motivate and attract the children ; their parents towards need for education, hygiene and better living standards.
