Introduction

Despite 65 years of independence a large number of Indian people are still far away from the basic amenities like nutritious food, pure drinking water, clothes, housing, basic health and education facilities, the scenario is even worse in rural and tribal areas. Poverty, lliteracy, Unemployment and deaths due to malnutrition and communicable diseases like diarrhea and malaria are the problems plaguing the society today.

It is the responsibility of every human being to introspect and reflect upon the sufferings of the fellow human being. This is the main motto for which “Nenu Sytham” has taken its birth with its agenda being ‘live and let live’.
