Where women hold the ledger, communities move forward. 👩

Across 876 villages, 30 women-owned and women-led cooperative banks are helping 33,797 women access credit, manage finances and strengthen their livelihoods.

Owned, governed and managed by women, these cooperatives create opportunities for women to participate in financial decision-making and build greater economic security for themselves and their families.

For Ramadevi, this journey took her from being a daily wage labourer to becoming the president of a cooperative bank.

Papampalli: Through the Seasons! 🌱💧

For Venkatalakshmi and many farming families in Papampalli, limited water availability once meant relying on a single rainfed crop.

From water scarcity to greater water security, Papampalli has changed with the seasons through RDT’s Eco Village Initiative, helping restore groundwater and create better livelihood opportunities for families.

Supporting students to take their next step with confidence. 🎓

90 students who recently completed their Intermediate education in the Bi.P.C. stream through our Special Scholarship Programme came together for a counselling session organised by RDT earlier this week.

Experts in NEET counselling and EAPCET admissions guided students and their parents through the admission process and the opportunities ahead, helping them understand their options and make decisions based on their interests.

The counselling sessions, conducted as part of RDT’s efforts to help students explore opportunities and make informed choices, support them as they continue their academic journey. 📚

For Chandana, being able to hold her son, feed him and care for him is a reminder of just how far they have come. 💛

Chandana's son is one among the many children who have received specialised care through the NICUs at RDT Hospitals. In 2024-25, 2,734 children were admitted to the NICU, where timely intervention and dedicated care gave newborns the support they needed during some of the most critical days of their lives.
