BALASAMSKARA KENDRAS: •  Child labour rehabilitation

Apart from the regular schools Seva Bharathi is conducting schools for the Child Laborers at Proddutur (cudappa Dist) and Amistapur, Makhtal, Balmoor, Hanwada, Dasapalli, Aiza, Maddur, Kothapalli, Pangal (All in Mahaboobnagar dist). The school at proddutur is an effort successfully organised for the past 7 years and funded by the dept. of labour. The School has 142 students all selected from the child labourers in and around proddutur. A new Residential bridge school under the co-ordination of the ILO and the ( Consortium of Employers' Associations for the eradication of Child labour) CEASE is being run by Sevabharati with 200 children 100 boys and 100 girls. Sevabharathi Now has 9 Child Labour Eradication centers with over 800 children. The campaign for eradication of child labour paired with alternative education with innovative methods has made the children earlier child labourers now stay with sevabharati to get back to school.

 

351 Balsamskara Kendras and Coaching Centers are also run at various places. A big voluntary effort by people drawn from all walks of life is behind the Project. The working parents (mostly slum dwellers, tribals and labourers) cannot pay the required attention to their Children and those Children attending Schools donot get the quality education. Seva Bharathi motivates them towards literacy and counseld them to study better with techniques to personality development. Imparting Awareness in Health and hygiene as well as Samskaram is the most striking feature of Seva Bharathi where we stand different from others.

The children in the Slums many a time are deprived of the basic things of childhood. The todays Mechanised life has robbed the children of their innocence, creative games and such activities.Sevabharati in an effort to promote this small activity of learning through games and recitations (NO BOOKS) has been running 300 Balasamskara kendras.


Volunteers of the locality take up Reciting Shlokas and Such rhymes that can make learning a fun. Games that can both be entertaining and learning.

There have been two types of Samskarakendras one for the slum children wherein they miss the school just because of their poverty or negligence of the parrents attending daily wages. Such children and their parrents are educated and convinced to school. This voluntary effort is the starting point of all the other service activities of SEVABHARATHI. The core strengthlies in the SAMSKARAKENDRAS.

A big voluntary effort by people drawn from all walks of life is the strength of the Project. Over 3000 children of age group 5-15 are involved in 300 centers. Imparting Samskara is the most striking feature of Seva Bharati and this is where we stand different from others. Teaching Children good manners some very essential things as wishing their parents and elders.
