Padala Charitable Trust (PCT), founded in 2002 by IIT Kharagpur alumnus Surya Prasad Padala, is a non-profit organization working to transform education for underprivileged students in rural Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We partner with government schools to provide scholarships, mentoring, and financial support through Individual Empowerment Programs. Alongside this, our Large Scale Awareness Programs educate students on critical topics such as health, life skills, menstrual hygiene, child protection, and career guidance. By combining personal support with awareness initiatives, PCT empowers students to become confident, educated, and responsible citizens
