Sarada Niketan School - Araku Valley & Munchungiputtu

Established in 2007 by D. Sarada Trust, Sarada Niketan School was founded with the noble vision of providing quality education to economically disadvantaged tribal boys and girls in the picturesque Araku Valley of Alluri Seetharamaraju District.
