Siri’s vision is to help underprivileged children realize their full potential. We believe every child deserves the best shot in life!
Our mission is to create a meaningful difference in the lives of underprivileged children through educational programs.
Siri Foundation supports the education of underprivileged children in rural India, providing steadfast and comprehensive support throughout their educational journey—from elementary school to college. We help them achieve their aspirations through scholarships, financial resources, and mentorship, while instilling the values of volunteerism and community service.
Our dedicated volunteers and teachers diligently identify and select deserving children to support their higher education. Over the past decade, we have successfully assisted 70 students through our scholarship program. We have also established and operated five libraries in five villages, ensuring access to educational resources for the communities we serve. Furthermore, we have delivered thousands of hours of lectures for competitive exams and personal development, and in 2023, we initiated sports education grants.

Our volunteers operate in villages within rural India, with the objective of creating an ecosystem for our students to learn to survive, thrive, and better their communities in.
The Siri Foundation was established as a nonprofit charitable trust on July 28, 2010, in Vishakhapatnam, AP, India, by Srini Chintala, L.V. Narayana Rao, and Babu Rao.
Narayana Rao and Babu Rao, both teachers at government rural schools, are dedicated to supporting underprivileged students with great potential but limited resources. They provide mentoring, tutoring, and counseling to prevent school dropouts. Recognizing their shared passion for helping underprivileged children, Srini Chintala from the USA decided to collaborate with them. Srini leveraged his network of resources, while Narayana Rao and Babu Rao continued their on-the-ground efforts, connecting with children in need. Together, they founded the Siri Foundation Charitable Trust.
Srini Chintala and his wife, Dr. Lakshmi Chintala, who also share a commitment to helping underprivileged children, have built a strong team of volunteers making a significant impact in rural villages.
The Siri Foundation is a registered charity in India with Tax ID: 38/2010 and holds 12A, 80G, and FCRA certifications.
