S K R Pupils Welfare Society

The S.K.R. Pupils Welfare Society — formally known as the Suravarapu Kondareddy Pupils Welfare Society (SKRPWS) — is a legally registered, government-recognised non-governmental organisation (NGO) headquartered in Chimakurthy, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Founded on 8th February 1999 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, SKRPWS was established with a single, unwavering conviction: that every child born with a disability — whether deaf, intellectually challenged, physically impaired, or multiply disabled — deserves the same access to education, therapy, dignity, and opportunity as any other child. Not as charity. As a right.

For 25 years, we have acted on that conviction — quietly, persistently, and without compromise — in the villages, towns, and communities of rural Andhra Pradesh where the need is greatest and the resources are fewest.

Today, SKRPWS operates two full residential special schools, seven community programmes, and a growing network of outreach and advocacy initiatives. We serve over 10,000 beneficiaries annually — children, families, youth, and communities — across Prakasam District and beyond. But we have never lost sight of why we began: the child in the village who had no school to go to. The family who had been told there was no hope. The community that didn’t know what its disabled members were capable of.

We are SKR. And we are still that school for that child.
