Suryaa Telangana Desk: The first anniversary of a free mineral water plant was celebrated in Gangadevipadu village, located in the Penuballi mandal. The facility was established by Emani Durga Prasad, a general manager at Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions in Guntur, to provide free drinking water to the residents of the village.

The plant was set up in memory of Durga Prasad’s grandparents, Venkatramaiah and Bapamma, and his mother, Sambhavathi. By providing free water, the initiative saves each household in the village approximately Rs 350 per month, amounting to roughly Rs 4,000 per year. Collectively, the village saves approximately Rs 20 lakh annually through this facility.

During the anniversary event, the villagers expressed their gratitude to community elders Kanagala Sambasiva Rao, Kanagala Suresh Babu, and Emani Satish Kumar for their support in the project.
