AMG High School, Kakinada, was started in 1999. Kakinada is the head quarter of East Godavari District. At Kakinada, on either side of the roads, there were large slums inhabited by poor unskilled labourers, hoping to make living in the town. They were all encroachments. They belong to low-income group. They were engaged in a great variety of bread winning activities.
The houses are thatched roof and vulnerable to frequent fire accidents. They are awfully congested and horribly un-hygiene. The children had no schooling and many of them were child labour.
In this situation, in 1999, Government of A.P took up the huge task of evicting the slum-dwellers, as part of road widening and community development programme. The slum dwellers were allotted house-sites, for each family and were asked to shift into that new place, putting up huts at their own cost. This new site is actually the old Government Daily Farm, which is now closed. However, there are no infra-structural facilities like roads, water, power and school. Their living conditions are very horrible. In this juncture, the District Collector requested Dr. John David, Founder, AMG to come to the rescue of the slum inhabitants. AMG entered there in a big way. Thus was born AMG Socio-Economic Development Project for slum dwellers at Kakinada.
Initially, the school was started as midday meal centre school, with a strength of 500 children. In 2000, it was converted into a bridge school, where children are trained as a group and depending upon their knowledge levels and age, are later admitted into different grades/ standards, as per their age. Now, it is a regular school with LKG to X grades, with 1600 children. We are providing breakfast & lunch and free education, with uniform, civil clothes, shoes and socks, Notebooks & Textbooks and stationery.
