Yazali Najanma Bhoomi Village development Society
Yazali – Naa Janma Bhoomi Village Development Society was established in 2010 by a group of villagers and social workers. Some of the founders had been involved in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
In 2010, they learnt of some serious drink-driving accidents in which teenage boys from the village were killed. As a result of these events, they decided to develop a mentorship and comprehensive development programme for their village. Thus, Yazali – Naa Janma Bhoomi was formed. As a non-profit organization, Yazali – Naa Janma Bhoomi aims to work to improve Yazali village in the areas of agriculture, rural development, public sanitation, education, female empowerment, healthcare, wellness, rural rehabilitation, and so on. The trust also aspires to transform Yazali into a model village for the entire Guntur District.
