Currently, this chapter is working with the village of Viyyampeta, located in Andhra Pradesh.
Located in Vizianagaram District of Andhra Pradesh, Viyyampeta is situated within Kothavalasa Mandal and is well connected to nearby communities. The village lies approximately 1 km from the town of Kothavalasa and about 41 km from the district headquarters, with access to regional centers including Visakhapatnam, Anakapalle, Bheemunipatnam, and Vizianagaram.
Viyyampeta is home to approximately 1,272 residents across 350 households. Agriculture is a central component of village life, with primary crops including mango, paddy (rice), and cashew, which are distributed to surrounding areas. The village plays an important role in supporting the surrounding rural economy through agricultural production and local trade.
The village is served by a Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS) enrolling over 200 students from grades 3 through 10. Local leadership and community institutions play a central role in advancing education, health, and community development efforts. These priorities continue to guide Project RISHI’s collaborative efforts to strengthen local capacity and support long-term community goals.
