What People Say About Us!
At Sanga Mithra Development Association (SAMIDA), we are proud of the impact we’ve made in the lives of rural communities across India. Here are some heartfelt testimonials from individuals whose lives have been touched by SAMIDA’s programs and initiatives.
“Thanks to SAMIDA’s agricultural training and support, I was able to improve my farming techniques and increase my crop yield. The training on organic farming has not only boosted my income but also reduced my dependence on expensive chemical fertilizers. SAMIDA has truly helped me and my family live a better life.”
Mr. Venkatesh Rao
Farmer, Pedashaikalipalem Village
“Before joining the women’s self-help group organized by SAMIDA, I had very little confidence in myself. Through their vocational training programs, I learned tailoring and now run a small business from home. SAMIDA has empowered me to become financially independent and support my children’s education. I will always be grateful for their support.”
Ms. Lakshmi Priya
Women’s Self-Help Group Member, Yellamanchili Mandal
“SAMIDA’s youth leadership program transformed my life. I used to feel directionless, but after participating in their training sessions, I gained leadership skills and started contributing to my community. I now mobilize other young people to get involved in social work. I owe my confidence and sense of purpose to SAMIDA.”
Mr. Ravi Kumar
Youth Leader, Visakhapatnam District

Ms. Anusha Reddy
School Teacher, Kokkirapalli Post
“When floods hit our village last year, SAMIDA was there to help us. They provided food, clean water, and medical aid when we had nothing. Their disaster relief team worked day and night to ensure we were safe. SAMIDA’s compassion and timely help during that crisis is something I will never forget.”
Mr. Raghavendra Naidu
