A promise in practice
గ్రౌండిజం
Groundism is the decision to care in public: neighbours protecting the ground, local traditions and one another.

Groundism is one part of SR Nagar's larger story. Its work matters because a strong neighbourhood makes room for every family, every memory and every person who calls it home.
Ganesh Utsav →Where purpose begins
Groundism was built through physical community networks: meetings on the ground, phone calls, notices on walls and people who simply turned up. Very little of that effort made it online.
This page is the beginning of the record. It will be reconstructed from the memories and archives of the people who were there. Their voices, not anyone's guesswork, will carry the story.
First-hand accounts and archives that tell the full story are still being recorded, and residents are invited to help complete that living record.
The current record includes the people whose portraits have been supplied for publication. The gallery moves continuously; use the arrows whenever you want.
