To ensure that every child in Purokonda and its surrounding 35 villages complete their schooling (till the higher secondary level) so that they can have a chance of a brighter future and break the vicious cycle of ignorance and poverty which presently entraps most of their families.

Future plans include setting up a health centre at Purokonda and also initiating several rural development projects will help the local people improve their standard of living/income levels.
