Society to Save Rocks is a not-for-profit entity established in 1996 in Hyderabad, India by rocks enthusiasts[2] with preservation motif,[3] especially those rock formations abutting the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad[4] amidst the Deccan Plateau. Frauke Quader, Laxma Goud and others have been credited with the formation of the Society way back in the 1990s.[5]

As a Hyderabadi interested in preservation of the rocks, Frauke Quader has much to share about the importance of the rocks,

  • ...Rocks sustain a very special ecosystem with unique flora and fauna, and once destroyed they can never grow back[6]

Rock formations at Hyderabad, Telangana Hills of granite boulders are a common feature of the landscape on the Deccan plateau.
