“Creating a strong business and building a better world are not conflicting goals – they are both essential ingredients for long-term success.”

At Feuji, making this world a better place is the mainspring of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. To achieve this purpose, in 2015, we adopted the S. Uppalapadu village with a population of 3000 in the YSR Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh State, India. Our goal was to make it a Smart Village by creating a model that can be replicated across India, and perhaps, the world.
As a part of the Indian Prime Minister’s vision to create Smart Villages, Feuji took up a 20-point program in the village to offer better infrastructure, education, employment, and empowerment to the village people. As part of this, the Feuji Foundation has invested over a million dollars in several programs including:
- Clean water
- Health center
- Diagnostics lab
- Pharmacy
- Uninterrupted power
- Sanitation
- Roads
- Water harvesting
- Green plantation
- Children’s parks
- Adoption of local schools
- Employment opportunities
- Establishment of a skill development center
This has helped not only the village, but also the surrounding small towns, which cover a population of about 45,000. The Feuji foundation collaborated with the local government and village development committee in this mission.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT CENTER
We have built a 20,000 sq. ft. facility, fully-equipped with modern architecture, A/V, and Wi-Fi facilities for the people of Kadapa. We have the IT Graduate Hire Program through which IT graduates are counseled and helped in choosing their area of interest. The course focuses on developing IT skills, soft skills, and positive attitude. The […]
