of self-centered people, they are drifting away from basic mundane values.
Enlightening Lives has taken up the responsibility to regain humanity from its
very roots, starting from the young minds of our nation, The Youth.
It was started on
12th June 2010 with 20 volunteers at BVRIT, Narsapur and soon started expanding
which lead to being recognized by the government as an NGO in 2011.
It started as an
initiative to create social awareness about the suffering faced over the world.
In this process the student’s strife to make a better society.
