With the help of volunteers from the teaching fraternity represented by the APUS and the Psychologists association of Hyderabad as well as Seva Bharathi a thorough verification of the financial status has been conducted and the children selected from among them. One more thing that influenced the Volunteers of Seva Bharathi has been the fact that not less than 37% of the Residential bridge school beneficiaries after mainstreaming, whatever the efforts of the volunteers involved are end up back in child labour. To avoid this and bring childhood back to the children Seva Bharathi toook up the task of providing rehabilitation and scholarship programme for the children atleast until 10th class board exams and depending on their interest and talent later.
