Kriya Sangh Society

Kriya Sangh Society has operations in Rasoolpura, which is one of the largest slums in Hyderabad with a population of approximately 1.3 lakhs. Rasoolpura is associated with poor development indicators and civic amenities. No healthcare facilities were available there until recently. The chief functionary of the Society Sheikh Nayeem belonged to a poor family and had undergone very tough times during his childhood. He had to travel more than 2 kilometres to just fetch water and the financial situation of his family had hindered him from pursuing his dreams of professional education. He accordingly resolved to take up the responsibility of improving conditions in his colony. He, along with his friends, got a bore well drilled in 2000-01, benefiting 450 families. He also negotiated with the local officials to facilitate the issuance of ration cards to the needy and organised medical camps. He also got the High School building renovated and protested the indiscriminate dumping of garbage opposite the school by squatting right in the middle of the yard. The local media gave extensive coverage to the incident and the issue was resolved. He later associated himself with leading NGOs such as Mamidipudi Venkatarangaiya Foundation, Bhoomi, etc. during the course of his professional work.

It was in 2014 that Sheikh Nayeem registered Kriya Sangh Society with the objectives of extending services to community in the domains of Education, Skill Development & Livelihood Promotion, Health and Environment. The Society has since launched a wide range of initiatives in the areas of affordable healthcare through Amma Clinic, strengthening the local government school, educating community on health issues, conduct of health check up camps, remedial coaching for children with learning gaps and skill development in various areas. The organisation has also accorded priority to promotion of environmental awareness.
