Ex-ward member and village elder Gemmili Krishna says, “The parents take turns accompanying the children to the graveyard point and pick them up from there after school. Children from four villages study here, but nearly 20 students from Kidagari of G. Madugula mandal must trek 3 km through forest and hilly slopes to reach the school.

Rallagadda village, 18 km from Chintapalli mandal headquarters. “We laid a kutcha road two years ago by pooling ₹2 lakh from the villagers so our children can reach school safely.
