Village Survey

On January 5, 2025, the Vizag Volunteers Association embarked on a meaningful mission to survey Parvatipuram, a village situated 141 kilometers from Visakhapatnam. This initiative was undertaken at the request of Jattu Ashramam, a respected local institution dedicated to community welfare and development. Under the guidance of Raja Rao Garu, 21 enthusiastic volunteers participated in the survey, showcasing their commitment to creating meaningful change. The team began their journey at 4 AM, traveling in two vehicles to reach the village. The survey was designed to document key aspects of the village, including infrastructure, education, healthcare facilities, sanitation, and the availability of essential resources. Volunteers captured photographs and conducted detailed assessments to understand the challenges faced by the community. The team also engaged directly with residents to gain insights into their daily lives, concerns, and aspirations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the area’s needs. Jattu Ashramam played a pivotal role in highlighting the need for this survey, aiming to use the findings as a blueprint for future interventions and development programs. The collaboration between the ashram and the Vizag Volunteers Association underscores a shared vision of fostering sustainable progress in underserved regions. This initiative is a testament to the Vizag Volunteers Association's dedication to community welfare. Known for their active involvement in diverse initiatives—ranging from disaster relief and blood donation camps to large-scale event volunteering and educational outreach—the association has established itself as a trusted and impactful NGO. The Parvatipuram survey further reinforces their commitment to bridging gaps in rural development, guided by empathy, teamwork, and a clear vision for societal betterment. By collaborating with Jattu Ashramam, the Vizag Volunteers Association has strengthened its role as a catalyst for positive change, ensuring that their efforts align with the aspirations and needs of the communities they serve.
