The Synergy & Sustainability Symposium IV, held on April 24, 2025, in Bengaluru, was attended by several representatives of Corporate companies wishing to identify non-governmental organisations working in different sectors.
Accion Fraterna - Ecology Centre’s Ground-Up work on watersheds and other initiatives in the Arid Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh was recognised by the IndiaDonates organisation, and a memento was presented to the organisation. The AF-EC Director, Dr. Y.V. Malla Reddy, after accepting the recognition, said it was a very thoughtfully organised one, and it was a pleasure participating in it and networking with several persons.
“I am sure it was inspiring for the other participants too,” he said. The Accion Fraterna Ecology Centre appreciates the recognition given to it and the other outstanding NGOs from all parts of India.
“We appreciate and thank IndiaDonates for identifying such NGOs which are making exemplary efforts and creating a sustainable impact on the communities,” Dr. Reddy said.
The IndiaDonates team said: We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your participation in the Recognition Ceremony at the Synergy & Sustainability Symposium IV.
Your organisation’s work under the category “ Amplifying Impact through Ground-Up Community-Led Action” was a true highlight of the event. It was an honour to spotlight your impactful, scalable, and community-rooted model to a room full of sector leaders, CSR heads, philanthropists, and fellow changemakers.
As we emphasised throughout the day, the purpose of this recognition was not simply to award success but to learn from it, celebrate it, and invite others to adapt, replicate, and build on what is already working. Your initiative is a strong testament to what is possible when thoughtful design meets grassroots leadership and sustained commitment.
Thank you once again for inspiring us, and for demonstrating what “amplifying impact” truly looks like in action. We look forward to staying in touch and exploring ways to build together in the future.
