Note books distribution:  
From the year 2000 the programme was in the form of scholarships. Students are chosen and are given scholarships depending on the class of study with the help of donors.  Later it was reformed into distribution of note books(itc make) worth Rs.700,   as scholarship programme is not serving the intended purpose.  Every year starting 1st standard to engineering students are provided with almost 25nos. of note books sufficient for entire year.   Around 120 stundents are distributed with notebooks till 2019.  Later the programme was discontinued as the government themselves are providing every need of the students. The programme was conducted regularly at anjaneyaswamy kalyana mandapam, a.t.agraharam, guntur.


Srividyanidhi:
However, from 2023 a new scheme was started in the name of ‘Sri Vidyanidhi’ for students who are studying final year of professional courses (B.tech, Polytechnic, B.pharmcy etc). Accordingly applications are distributed among interested students. Filled applications along with relevant supporting documents, interview with parent & student, cross verification of details and conduct with principal, house visit to assess the eligibility and deserving nature of the scholarships by the students are shortlisted.
