    Cleaning the Nandiguddah Graveyard by the MSW Students was an excellent idea. Masters Degree in Social Work is a wide and broad spectrum of Education that covers a wide variety of discipline that relates to the "real world" that we dwell in our daily life.

    Graveyards and cemetaries are considered as precious spots in America where people visit their friends and relatives more often than visiting homes. The Graveyards are fully maintained throughout the year, and each graveyard is well marked with individual names on a bronze slab, well standardized and well identified. We have special cemetaries for the deceased Armed Forces, Naval Forces as well as Air Forces, and each and every burial is conducted with full honors.

    We wish to complement the MSW students for taking their precious time in cleaning the graveyards. So many rich people are buried at Nandiguddah and some of the richness left behind by these deceased could be well utilized for the improvement and upkeep of these famous graveyards. India has so many opportunities to improve in so many ways, and honor those buried souls in an appropriate manner.
