Amazon Launches Community Development Initiatives in Meerkhanpet Village, Telangana
The completion of community development projects in Hyderabad's Meerkhanpet, Kandukur Mandal, which is a part of the Rangareddy district, was announced by Amazon Web Services (AWS) India. The local community received the freshly rebuilt facilities for a health sub-centre and self-help group (SHG) resource centre, a public park, and a water purification system. In addition to local ward members and leaders, the new initiatives were launched in front of dignitaries such as Sabitha Indra Reddy, a member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly; Sergio Loureiro, VP of Global Data Centre Operations at Amazon Web Services (AWS); Saji P.K., Director of Data Centre Operations – Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa at AWS; and Aditya Chowdhry, Director of Data Centre Operations – India at AWS.
Corporates are the Key Drivers: Reddy
According to Sabitha Indra Reddy, corporations play a crucial role in fostering robust community development that aims to improve both the quality of life and economic progress. Amazon has continuously made a commitment to strengthening Telangana's local communities through a number of development projects that have shown promise. The administration anticipates that all facets of the village's inhabitants will significantly benefit from the new initiatives.
The village panchayat owned the property on which the recently opened public park was built. The park has a running track, a children's play area, and an open gym. Through an automated water dispensing equipment, the RO water purifier system will make drinking water easy and affordable for the community, removing the need for outside vendors.
The renovated health sub-centre, which has a larger waiting area, an in-patient room for short-term treatments, and a medical consultation room, will serve the community's basic healthcare needs. There are now two storage rooms, a sizable meeting room, and newly constructed restrooms in the SHG resource centre. The local women's self-help groups will utilise it for meetings and as a place to work together on business ventures.
Other Initiatives by Amazon
Along with these projects, Amazon has also planted avenues for Meerkhanpet's village roads and installed solar lamps. In addition to renovating the Zilla Parishad High School in Meerkhanpet and building a community library, Amazon also established an Amazon Think Big Space there in 2022, which aims to promote STEM education for kids.
These new projects in Telangana supplement the numerous projects that Amazon has already carried out in the Rangareddy district of the state, including the opening of Think Big Spaces in several locations throughout the district, including Nednur, Meerkhanpet, and Kandukur mandals, and the refurbishment of government schools, Anganwadi centres, healthcare facilities, and hospitals.
