This initiative, aligned with SEIL Energy’s CSR key focus area on Education, aims to reduce school dropout rates, particularly among children from underprivileged backgrounds and girl students who often face mobility challenges in remote areas.
The Hon’ble Energy Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Gottipati Ravi Kumar Garu formally handed over bicycles on Friday at Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS), Makkenavaripalem. The Hon’ble Minister also handed over 452 Cycles to the students of ZPHS, Medarametla.
Speaking on the occasion, Hon’ble Minister Shri Gottipati Ravi Kumar Garu said: “We are immensely grateful to SEIL Energy for their generous contribution of 1,000 bicycles. This initiative is a critical enabler in the Government of Andhra Pradesh’s larger vision to distribute 10,000 bicycles to underprivileged children, ensuring that no child is denied access to education due to lack of transportation.”

Through this initiative, we are not just donating bicycles —we are helping unlock the future potential of 1,000 children. We are proud to partner with the Government of Andhra Pradesh in advancing this noble and meaningful cause.”
