Bright Life Foundation was established by Dr. Subbarao Polineni. Polineni, who was raised mainly by his grandmother until the age of 8 due to lack of resources, has learned about life at a young age. At the age of 13, he lost his mother and was estranged from his father. He went to a college with the help of his maternal aunt and uncle. After he shifted to USA in 1971 with his wife, he has taken several initiatives for children.

Most of his initiatives are towards children. In 2009, he started a school “The Sri Sarada Niketan Public School”. This is an independent school which focuses on the natural curiosity in children along with their intellectual ability. The school also teaches athletics, artistry, and leadership skills. The school focuses on teaching life values and tries to create a homely environment for the children, in addition to taking care of the nutritional, medical, and psychological needs of the children. Dr. Subbarao Polineni has dedicated most of his life for the welfare of children and with Bright Life foundation, he has taken a new step.
