Smt. TUMMALAPALLI ANNAPURNAMMA STUDENTS HOME TRUST. ESTD. 1946
A Mission Empowering Brahmins Through Education Brief History
Many in the Brahmin community today, especially in Andhra Pradesh, face dismal circumstances. Due to the reservations system, admission to higher/professional courses and employment is not easily attainable. Adding to this, the majority of Brahmin community are economically backward families who are not able to educate their children even they are academically bright. And this number is growing rapidly.
Anticipating this kind of state of affairs, 50 years ago Dr. Tummalapalli Harinarayana an eminent Physician & Surgeon by profession, with a spirit for public service, righteousness and generosity, donated his entire property and even by passed many of his own kith and kin, established “Smt.Tummalapalli Annapurnamma Students Home Trust”, in the name of his wife Smt Annapurnamma, in Vijayawada in 1946, for the benefit of poor Brahmin students. Thus the Trust was formed with the objective of helping the larger Brahmin community youth with education and good futures.
Today, a dedicated team manages the Trust a non-profit organization, to achieve the aspirations of the founder.
At present, the Trust provides residential accommodation and food to 50 underprivileged collegiate young males from under-graduate to post graduate level at no cost to them. Furthermore, identifying their aptitude and desire for learning, to date we have providing scholarships every year to the tune of 12 to 15 lakh rupees to over 500 economically challenged young ladies over the past 10 years.
The manifestation of the Trust is to empower under-privileged youngsters with education. However, more must be done. With your help and support our hope is to extend our reach to more deserving aspirants with scholarship and financial support. In so doing, you will play a hand in providing deserving youth with the opportunity to live a life of self-reliance and dignity.
