AbstractWe chose to study about Prafulta as the number of orphans in our country is
rapidly increasing. This is harming the future of our country. By providing
employment we can deal with such issues.
The aim of Prafulta is provide quality psychological and psychiatric services, to
help individuals, groups and families move towards optimal, independent
functioning and improving their quality of life.They also address a wide range ofpsychological problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, phobias, traumas,
sexual problems & boundary violations, inability to function in life and other
difficulties.

IntroductionPrafulta Psychological Services (a Don Bosco project) was initiated in the year1998. It is a set up of the Salesians of Don Bosco, an organization that works
with the children and youth, though now there is an equal focus on adults also. It
promotes emotional intelligence and offers a whole host of psychological services
like assessment and diagnosis, professional counselling, career guidance,
remedial education, psychological evaluation, psychiatric services, occupational
therapy, workshops for academic and emotional issues.
Dominic Savio Educational Complex is a Don Bosco Institution run by the
Salesians of Don Bosco, an International Organization with its main
headquarters in Rome, Italy. St. Dominic Savio Boys' Home is a 'Home Away
from Home', and caters to youngsters who are orphans, semi-orphans and those
from broken families and difficult situations. Dominic Savio EducationalComplex also conducts the Evening Study Classes for disadvantaged children
and youngsters from the surrounding neighbourhood. These classes are totally
free and are taken care of by generous benefactors and well wishers.
The purpose of this research was to analyse the methods of training given to the
kids & adults who are a part of this organisation. To serve this purpose, we
interacted with a few people who were a part of the organisation. We also
interviewed the trainers in different fields like professional counselling &
psychological evaluation.
The main problem which we faced during the research was that we were able to
visit only one centre which was located in Andheri East. Prafulta has three
branches in Bombay but we could get information about the services only from
one branch.

Recommendations & ConclusionsThe teaching techniques used are more in the form of practical work. They try to develop
innovative ways which not only help the students study well but also teach and gain a
lot more. We would personally recommend that teachings & counselling given to the
orphans should be based more on the lifestyle of the society and also the role they would
be expected to play. When we interacted with the students and trainers we felt that the
studies and teachings offered should be upgraded and made more interesting.
We also recommended the teachers make the sessions with the students more
interactive for the purpose of personality development of the students.
