Education
Poverty is a major constraint in the education of children belonging to SC/ST. Children from these communities face specific disadvantages in their education and this must be given serious attention and quality education is paramount to every child.
Skill Development
Providing employment opportunity to unprivileged rural youth has always topped the agenda in the community intervention projects of Visaka Industries and especially to the youth belonging to SC/ST community from Karimnagar and Adilabad districts. The prevalence of unemployment among youth in these areas is relatively high.

Health
"A healthy family means a healthy society, a healthy society mean a healthy nation”.
