A great nation is made by great citizens and Great citizens are made by great Educational Institutions. Hon ble Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao has dreamt of transforming the newly formed state into Bangaru Telangana and has envisioned and executed various projects for supporting socio-economic development extensively. He worked for the benefit of all sections of the society. Inspired by his vision and as part of Aurobindo Pharma a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, We Aurobindo Pharma has constructed a brand new degree college with all the modern amenities at Patancheru to encourage higher education among the youth. We believe that it is of paramount importance that colleges are provided with both physical and human infrastructure for optimum learning. Students should feel very secure when they go to college for their education under a strong shelter. Therefore, more than a gift it is an investment from Aurobindo for a brighter future of our newly formed district of Sangareddy. A novel gift to the students of Sangareddy district Backdrop- Students of Government degree college Patancheru, located at the border of Hyderabad expressed their unhappiness with regard to the dilapidated condition of their colleage premise which affects their learning environment to a greater extent. Recognising this as a serious issue, Aurobindo Pharma, as a part of its corporate social responsibility constructed a spacious building in the same place where the existing college was situated and resumed student s confidence in studies. 3

The professional standards that the college exemplifies have got the students excited - a welcome sign! Students are thankful to the front-runners of this change- Telangana government (for providing the land) and Aurobindo Pharma for taking up the construction work in a professional and expeditious manner. While books and teachers are a part of education system, other facilities needs to be available on demand for a good learning environment. Good infrastructure is very much requiredinexorable for higher achievements. Parents will be keen to get their children join in institutes that have good infrastructural facilities. Boys and girls in Patancheru of Sangareddy district always struggled for their education with no proper degree college. There was only a single colleage serving the need of thousands of higher education aspirants that too with no proper facilities. The colleage doesn t have a well-equipped library and laboratory. The basic sanitation facilities of clean and separate toilets for boys and girls and safe drinking water were also not satisfactory. The benches and flooring were damaged. Due to inadequate facilities, the enrollment never increasedshoots up in the colleage.

The land was provided by the Telangana government, Aurobindo Pharma constructed the new college building in athe built-up area of 40,000 sft.

The additional facilities like Computer lab, Science laboratories, parking lots, separate toilet facilities for girls and boys and teaching staff are provided in the colleage as a gift to the new Sangareddy district by Aurobindo Pharma COLLEGE LOOKS GREAT It was very hard to be seated in a congested room s in the old building. Girls were uncomfortable with no proper rest room facilities. We are very happy with this building constructed by Aurobindo Pharma. Now, this is the only college with all facilities in the entire district. Spacious classrooms and laboratories are motivating us to learn well said Parveen and Fathima of B.Sc. Ist year.

This college is a noble gift to the newly formed Sangareddy district by Aurobindo Pharma MODERN AMENITIES Krishna, Swamy, Sreenu and Siva, residents of Patancheru, expressed- We had to send our children far away for their education as there was no proper college here.
