Since inauguration on, 13 feb 2006 in Mahaboobnagar (Palamoor) a result of the
perpetual efforts by sevabharathi for the past 4 years in the campaign against Child labour the Sandipani Awasam has been delivering results that are worth a praise.
A total of 25 children all selected from the Child labour rehabilitation centers from around the Mahaboobnagar district have been the genuinely poor and needy as also deserving. The Children now studying in Saraswathy Sishu mandir Mahaboobnagar (Palamoor) have been performing on par with the other children.
The Children were selected after a talent hunt in the Child labour rehabilitation centers from around the district. Now after one years training in their rehabilitation homes sevabharathi has picked them up on their merit and for the past one year teh are pursuing their studies, and will do so until they are capable of settling down in the society. And luckily its a group of good natured, patriotic NRI's that strengthened Seva Bharathi's hands by supporting financially for their studies.
As a continuing effort of the Child labour rehabilitation programmes Seva Bharathi has decided to set up a permanant hostel for the Genuinely, talented and economically weak students of Palamoor District (Mahaboobnagar dist). Based on the results of the talent search exam conducted, fit students are selected and are awarded with scholarships to pursue their studies. Seva Bharathi runs 9 Bridge course centres which have gained a benchmark standard in child labour rehabilitation. The effort has benifitted some 5,000 children and contributed to a sustained campaign and awareness in the district.
Sandipani Awasam would house 100 poor but talented students who
otherwise would end up as bonded / child labourers for the rest of
their lives. Apart from the activities for the benefit of Children the
home would also act as a nerve centre for future Community development
programmes. |
