What the society does

Registered society

Registered on 20 January 2026 under the Andhra Pradesh Societies Registration Act, 2001, at the Registrar of Societies, Kakinada. The certificate is on this site and can be verified independently at ap.meeseva.gov.in.

Access to schemes

Helping families reach the government schemes they already qualify for — applications, documents, and following them up until they land.

Legal aid

Advice and representation on land, wages and caste-based exploitation. Free for the families we work with.

Education

Getting children enrolled and kept in school, and connecting young people to vocational training.

Why the society exists

Tribal families in Andhra Pradesh are entitled to schemes, protections and places in school that often never reach them — not because the law is missing, but because the distance between a village and an office is long. TASS exists to close that distance.
