Ms. Sinha, accompanied by SRM University-AP’s Pro-Vice Chancellor Satish Kumar, interacted with the beneficiaries and distributed books, school bags, and stationery to students attending the tuition centres.

Ms. Sinha praised the SRM Foundation for serving rural communities. She said: “In the current digital world, basic computer literacy is essential, and this training programme will prove to be a game-changer for many.” She urged the local residents to take advantage of the expert-led training programmes being conducted in the village.
