As part of the work, Shyam Sunder said they had decided to install the incinerators in government schools in Sangareddy following the request of the Sarvodaya Grama Seva Foundation (SGSF), a Sangareddy-based NGO that was setting up libraries in government schools of the district.

In the next couple of months, they would install incinerators in ZPHS Gonguluru, Nizampet, Hanmanthraopet and other schools. They were ready to install the incinerators in more schools in the days to come, he said, adding that their sole motto was disposal of sanitary napkins in a proper way to keep the premises of educational institutions clean.

Apart from installing incinerators, the NGO is taking up a number of social activities such as performing surgeries for eye patients.
