Bhumi Pooja – April 22, 2025

Janampally Village, Ramannapet, Telangana

Phase 1 Completion – October 2025

Background

The Telangana State Residential College for Girls in Ramannapet has long been a beacon of educational opportunity, admitting bright young girls through a merit-based entrance test. However, the existing infrastructure, designed for secondary-level students (5th to 10th standard), was insufficient to accommodate the upgraded junior college level, leaving over 600 students with inadequate classrooms, dormitories, dining, and laboratory facilities.

Many girls faced daily hardships: classrooms were converted into temporary dormitories at night, dining took place outdoors—often exposing students to monkey attacks, raising serious safety concerns. Laboratory spaces were insufficient, and basic amenities like toilets and water facilities were inadequate.

The project was initiated through the heartfelt appeal of Mrs. Jeevalatha, a retired lecturer of the college, and supported by Mr. Ramana Kumar, Secretary of Telangana Residential Schools. Inspired by the desire to end these struggles and provide a safe, dignified learning environment, Sumadhura Foundation committed to a comprehensive, high-budget renovation project, planned in three phases, prioritizing the most urgent issues first.

Phase 1 – High Priority Renovation and Construction (Completed October 2025):

Project Overview

Academic Infrastructure

Construction of 3 new classrooms
Renovation of existing classrooms including painting, new windows, flooring, doors, electrical works, and merging of rooms to create larger laboratories
Installation of a new stage for academic and cultural activities

Dining & Kitchen Facilities

Expanded dining hall to accommodate 400 students at a time
Construction of modern kitchen, store rooms, and grocery storage
Installation of solar fencing to prevent monkey attacks

Future Phases (Planned)

Phase 2: Construction of new dormitories for 350 additional students, integrated toilets, underground water tanks, STP, and other essential infrastructure
Phase 3: Remaining infrastructure upgrades to ensure the college is fully equipped to meet junior college requirements
