CARES was registered in 2009 as a non-profit voluntary service society in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, South India. CARES was a need based awakening by a group of like-minded people to help the needy in times of urgency. Guntur and nearby districts’ socio-economic and educational conditions were so backward and had never experienced voluntary service or any of such development facilitating support as of the other places in the district Guntur. Seeing the much rearward conditions of the people and the areas, we thought and decided to support the people and the areas through a process of participatory aspects - CARES and rural people-collective works for own development. Thus since inception focusing on rural issues conducting studies and finding condign solutions to address them, CARES and facilitating development opportunities in a holistic and sustainable way.
