As part of this, the NGOs like Asha for education and Bhumi are helping to improve the education in Kosgi mandal. The Silicon Valley chapter of Asha organization is funding one of such project named Balavikas in Kosgi. The groundwork is taken up by Bhumi. This project aims to improve infrastructure, and teaching quality in selected educational institutions in Kosgi.'PVRMES' is one of the NGO primarily donated a school building to Govt. Upper Primary School in Pothireddypally (vill) and the school was renamed to "Pullangari Venkat Reddy Memorial upper primary school" in the year of 2004.'PVRMES' then concentrated on delivering basic infrastructure, needs of poor students in the constituency.

Migration

The declining economic feasibility of agriculture and increasing debts of the farmers in Kosgi mandal has forced them to migrate to the metropolitan cities like Hyderabad and especially Mumbai, where they work mostly as laborer in construction work. The government's efforts, to restore the normal situation using projects like Self Help Groups and Food for Work program have been ineffective.
