Chaitanya Educational & Rural Development Society - CERDS - was established in 1996 by a group of rural natives interested in the field of humanitarian and rural development services. CERDS was registered as Society to work exclusively in the dry-land and coastal regions of Prakasam and Guntur Districts of Andhra Pradesh, to help poor communities to overcome the effects of poverty and create new futures for themselves and their communities. It has been an uphill battle for CERDS, confronting and surmounting the social, economic and political realities within which the NGO sector is operating. However, given these limitations, CERDS has been attempting to explore various possibilities, in becoming more relevant to the needs of the disadvantaged poor in Prakasam and Guntur Districts.
