HYDERABAD: Pramati Technologies, the pioneering software technology company, said it is adopting the Zilla Parishath High School in Peddathumbalam village near Kurnool, under the One-School-At-A-Time Mission run by entrepreneurs and professionals in India and USA, with an aim to rebuild infrastructure and working conditions of rural, underprivileged schools in India.

Pramati has signed an MoU with OSAAT India, a registered non-profit organization that is helping schools rebuild their infrastructure and providing basic facilities like classrooms, and fully functional toilets.

Pramati is delighted to be associated with OSAAT and contributing to this great initiative.”

Pramati’s timely help to build much needed additional classrooms in the Peddathumbalam school, is what we believe is the model where corporates join hands with OSAAT that will help us to fix hundreds of such schools in future”.
