The project was concerned with augmenting primary education at a rural elementary school. The M.P. Elementary School is located in the village of Besthavari Palli, Pulivendla Taluk, Cuddapah district, Andhra Pradesh. This school provides education to nearly 100 first through fifth grade children.

The project provided funds for school uniforms, Hepatitis-B vaccinations, teaching aids, cultural activities, and sports equipment to the children. As a result of the dedicated efforts by the teachers, school attendance and overall school performance increased remarkably and remained stable in the following years. Parents seem to be making additional sacrifices to encourage their children to stay in school.

On the 23rd of September, the Vasundhara edition of Eenadu featured an article on the project funded by ASHA-Corvallis at M. P. Elementary School of Besthavari Palli. The first time ever that people all over the state of Andhra Pradesh heard about this tiny and obscure village school!
