Koneru Prasad Charitable Trust

Koneru Prasad Charitable Trust
Koneru Charitable Trust has been taking up social service activities in several parts of the State for the last few years as it strongly believes in ‘Joy of Giving’ which can instill confidence among the poor and needy. The Trust does everything wholeheartedly even before the needy people approach them for help. The company brought remarkable changes in the lives of many with its social service activities in various sectors such as Education, Health, Sanitation, and Drinking Water Supply, Irrigation facility, construction of houses, civil amenities and basic infrastructure in rural Areas apart from Environmental Protection. That is why Trimex Sands Private Limited which is run by Koneru Prasad family has been in number one place in fulfilling the requirements under Corporate Social Responsibility. The company feels CSR is not an obligation but it is its dharma. The company strongly believes that ‘joy of giving back’ would build relations for life time.

It is not the claim of the company but it is the assertion made by the people of various parts of the district particularly in Srikakulam. Interestingly, the government looks immediately at Koneru Charitable Trust at the hour of crisis. For instance, the entire administration lauded Trust’s timely help when thousands of people were in trouble with the Phailin cyclone followed by floods which inundated hundreds of villages in Srikakulam district. Top district officials also say their tasks are being fulfilled with the active support of the TSPL which always says public interest is first and profit is next. There may be many industries in Srikakulam district but TSPL emerged as the best eco-friendly industry which stimulated economic activity in Srikakulam and Gara mandals while transforming many villages as economic hubs. One can observe rapid growth in several villages of Srikakulam and Gara mandals with the establishment of TSPL project.

A clear transformation is visible in the life-style of villagers, thanks to direct and indirect employment with the establishment of the factory in Vatsavalasa of Gara mandal four years ago. In fact, the development began during the construction stage itself. Growth is common wherever industrialization takes place. But it happens in haphazard manner. The aim of the TSPL is to achieve systematic development with the support of all the stakeholders including the government agencies. Spectacular results in health, education, social sector, and irrigation and employment opportunities were made possible with the vision of the company. The company has assured the district administration that it would spend around Rs.50 crore for CSR activities in the next five years. Srikakulam Collector Saurabh Gaur has presented an appreciation letter to the company on the occasion of Republic Day-2014, motivating the Trust to take up more social service activities in the days to come.
