On 4th June 2015, ARV distributed school supplies in Narayanapuram colony, Machilipatnam. All the children are yanadi children. Lowest literacy is found among Yanadis even when compared with other sub-tribes in Andhra Pradesh. As much as 92 % of the Yanadis are uneducated, while 95.5 % of women never went to school in their life. Consequently, 95 % of the children dropout of school by the time they reach 5th class. As many as 200 children are working as rag-pickers and child laborers to eke out their livelihood. It is a common sight to see the Yanadi children picking up the plastic carry bags and waste paper strewn on the roads and dumping yards. Hence ARV selected the Yanadi colonies to improve the educational levels among these children and created awareness and explained the importance of education.
