Vizianagaram District situated
at the extreme North Eastern tip of Andhra Pradesh
is one of the very backward districts, portrayed
by lack of access to productive assets and financial
resources, negligible levels of literacy, inadequate
health care and extremely limited access to other
basic social services. The scheduled tribes (Adivasis)
and schedules castes (Dalits) constitute almost
20% of the population of this district. Most of
them are Below Poverty Line (BPL), leading a hand
to mouth existence and severely exploited and
discriminated in various fronts.
The intervention of Chaitanya Bharathi is spread over the Districts
of Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam covering all mandals in Vizianagaram and some parts of Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts.
