After unveiling a statue of Dr. B. R.

C. James Yen Rural Polytechnic, a Kasturiba Vidyalaya at Kuppam and Santhipuram.

Animals distributed

He also distributed milch animals to beneficiaries under Pasu Kranthi Pathakam, pensions to the aged, widows and the handicapped and paid a visit to the Arogya Sri medical stalls.

Dr. Reddy witnessed the signing of an MoU between IKP Mandal Samakhyas, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and Vijaya (APDDB) and another pact between IKP and ALT of Bangalore for training women in garment making.
