Project in Hyderabad

• As said already, we are looking for a suitable/needy School with which we can work in Hyderabad. There are few suggestions already. If there are any institutions (most preferably a Government School) with whom we can work, kindly let know. Any lead in this regard is most welcome. Once we shortlist a few institutes/Schools, we can partner with the institute/School which is most needy
