Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar, Today

Y Babji, Past President

Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar, shortly SR Nagar is supposed to be a residential suburb in Hyderabad City, in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India. Very close to Ameerpet, a commercial area, it is named after the 6th President of India, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy. Towards the west of Bombay highway lies Vengal Rao Nagar, another residential suburb named after a Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Geographically, SR Nagar is within the core city of Hyderabad.

SR Nagar was developed and built into Special Type, A type, B type, C type, MIG, LIG & Weaker Sections Housing structure by AP Housing Board from 1968 onwards. Once with a good number of trees and good environment, now it looks like a concrete jungle. It has Begumpet, Greater Leela Nagar and Dharamkaran Road to its East. Vengal Rao Nagar and Srinivasa Colony to its West. Bahlool Khan Guda, Subash Nagar and Sanathnagar to its North and Ameerpet to its South. The statue of Umesh Chandra, a police officer who was shot dead by Naxalites is at the main entrance of this Colony and  has become a landmark to reach.

SR Nagar hosts a number of educational institutions, hostels, eateries, private hospitals and other commercial establishments. The main road from Umesh Chandra Statue to SR Nagar Police Station is lined up with Banks and Financial Institutions. Real estate boom that caught up a 20 years ago resulted in converting all the original Housing Board structures into multi-storied apartments. Except a Community Hall (which is in a dilapidated condition), a Mahila Samajam, a children park and a municipal play ground there is not much breathing space with all lanes and by-lanes having been encroached and shrunk. BK Guda park is a relief.

Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar has many Corporate Schools and Junior colleges and coaching centers namely, Bhashyam, Nagarjuna, Sri Chaitanya, Kakatiya, Narayana, Gautami, Gowtham, Narayana. At a shouting distance, there are hundreds of IT coaching centers in and around Aditya enclave, Ameerpet.

More than 300 private buses bound for almost all the cities and towns within the State and neighbouring States originate and terminate at this place.
