Founder and Executive Secretary

CERDS believes leadership is measured not by position but by service. Since its inception, the organisation has been guided by committed individuals who have dedicated their lives to improving the well-being of underserved communities.

Under the leadership of Mr. N. Srinivasa Rao, Founder and Executive Secretary, CERDS has grown from a grassroots initiative into a respected development organisation recognised for its commitment to transparency, sustainability, and community participation. His vision has always remained simple yet powerful:

"Development becomes meaningful when communities are empowered to shape their own future."

Dedicated to building self-reliance and dignity across rural generations.
