Mr. P.Madhusudhan hails from Nalgonda, one of the poorest and most drought-prone districts of Telangana in southern India. Added to that the district is one of the worst affected by excess fluoride, which has turned the ground water into a slow poison, crippling at least 10,000 people and leaving hundreds of thousand of others in constant misery.

The most shocking and sad image of people with paralysing bone diseases, stooped backs, crooked hands and legs, deformed teeth, blindness and other handicaps which are a common sight, here, moved Mrs.& Mr.Madhusudhan and they felt a strong urge to do something for the disabled. After their experience of over decade of working in disabled organisation in Hyderabad & Secunderabad, Mrs & Mr.Madhusudhan Reddy felt that more and more organisations are required to tackle this massive problem and they started ‘Sadhana’ an Institute for the welfare of intellectually Challenged in 1996 with just 2 students, in Habsiguda in Hyderabad, India.

But with their dedicated and sincere service the strength of the school has increased now to 222 children with multiple disabilities like cerebral palsy, hearing impaired, intellectually challenged, etc.

To provide services for the rural disabled persons in Nalgonda district, they started a Rural Rehabilitation Center in the year 1999 at Tekulasomaram Village, Valigonda Mandal, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, Telangana, India. Here there are about 60 intellectually challenged children undergoing rehabilitation.
