Educational Initiative:

Architect couple Krishna and Anuradha have been in Sittilingi for the past 10 years. They run an educational resource center for the tribal children of the surrounding villages. The main activity is in the evenings , when the tribal children throng the center, hungry to lap up the knowledge and the facilities which the local schools fail to provide.
