Vijayanagar bus terminus. 2 wheeler, cycle, car anything cannot go.. Stopped the

of families from Velachery is vacating and reaching MRTS station to reach to other

First day -no radio station gave rain related information or help. Then on the second

can’t get information. There is a Private channel Chennai Live in Radio, who are just Extreme rain for one full day on Dec 1- announcing some rain related info in English; they are only saying who is stranded Tuesday made most of the lakes full and where and who needs help.

Bharti Enterprises new

CSR initiative to aid

undertrialsBharti Enterprises and its founder

Sunil Bharti Mittal have decided to

put their money and weight behind

providing legal and financial assistance to undertrials who cannot afford

legal help. The company launched its new CSR initiative, Nyaya Bharti

project,. Nyaya Bharti is aimed at helping undertrials by paying bail and

surety amounts starting April 1, 2016. The poster boy of India's mobile

phone revolution revealed that the decision to put the groups CSR funds

and his own money behind Nyaya Bharti is a personal one. Mittal was

summoned by the Patiala House Court in 2013 in a case related to the

allocation of telecom spectrum in 2002 and that was the trigger for this

intervention. The lower court order was set aside by the Supreme Court

in 2015, but in Mittal's words it inspired him act. Sunil Mittal, Chairman,

Bharti Enterprises says: “This program will be for legal aid of first time

and minor offenders.” Mittal has roped in former CJI Justice Anand to

head the board, which includes leading lawyers like Harish Salve. AZB &

Raheja Developers Re-Defining the Definition

of Humanity Through Their CSR

The real estate sector is growing day by day and it is up to the real

estate developers to work for the welfare of people who are always

ready to work for them. Raheja Developers, the real estate giant is

working for the welfare of society as well as its workforce.

The Krishna Mahesh Gayatri Sansthan (KMGS), a charitable trust is a

Live example of Raheja Builders efforts towards society. It was

formed to provide education, healthcare and better lifestyle

standards for unprivileged children free of cost.

The company aims to provide better lifestyle for those who can't

afford it. DDA for the first time had launched the "In-Situ Slum

Rehabilitation Scheme" to rehabilitate slum dwellers in the year

2008 under PPP model. In 2008, tenders were invited from private

developers out of which eight developers qualified for the bid. The

first tender was floated to rehabilitate Kathputli Colony which is one

of Delhi's largest slum clusters and was won in a competitive open

tender process by Raheja developers Ltd.

Under this scheme, the 2800 families of Kathputli shall be given a

new ease of life by providing them the modern apartments with all

the amenities they need. This project was taken by Raheja

Developers with a mission to give some contribution to the society by

way of making homes for the economic weaker society of India and

help in their upliftment and giving them and their families a better

living. This also goes a long way to improve the image of India and

make it slum free.

substances, they wished to address the problem at its core.

World Toilet Day: Maruti Suzuki to build

1000 toilets at cost of Rs 7.4 crore in

Haryana, Gujarat

As the United Nations observes World Toilet Day on November

19, Maruti Suzuki, country's largest car maker, is building

lavatories in some villages of Haryana and Gujarat under its

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sanitation initiative

to eliminate open defecation.

In recent years, Maruti Suzuki has scaled up efforts to cover

over 16 villages across Gurgaon, Manesar and Rohatak in

Haryana and Hansalpur in Gujarat. The automobile

manufacturer has tied up with the Sulabh International for the

construction of individual household toilets. Maruti Suzuki has

successfully built 106 individual household toilets in 2014-15

at a cost of Rs 1.6 crore which helped three villages of Manesar

to become open defecation free and targets to make at least

seven more villages open defecation free in FY 2015-16,

claims the company. For this, Maruti plans to construct 1000

individual toilets, 13 public toilets and 19 toilets in 10 schools

at a total cost of Rs 7.4 crore.

Corporate social spending to get a BSE

platform soonThe BSE proposed to launch a

new exchange that will help listed

companies meet their social

impact spending requirements.

Called Sammaan, the platform

has been designed as an intermediary between corporates

willing to spend on philanthropy and cash-starved non-

government organisations.

Govt to further amend

Companies Act for more

amendments in the Companies Act

part of its efforts to provide more

A government-appointed high level

p a n e l r e c e n t l y s u b m i t t e d

recommendations on CSR norms to

the Corporate Affairs Ministry, which

is implementing the Act. Sources

said an action taken report has been

prepared on the recommendations

made by the panel. The report has been cleared by Corporate

Affairs Minister Arun Jaitley.

For further action on the panel's suggestions, the ministry is

looking at various options, including possible amendments to the

Companies Act, they added. Changes would be made to certain

rules related to CSR activities apart from coming out with

clarifications through circulars, sources said. The panel, chaired by

former Home Secretary Anil Baijal, was tasked to make

suggestions for improved monitoring of CSR spending. "Reference

to 'any financial year' in Section 135(1) of the Act, needs to be re-

examined by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs with a view to making

necessary amendment(s) either in Section 135(1) or in the

relevant rule," the panel said. Besides, it has called for clarification

with regard to the definition of the term 'net profit' used for

deciding CSR spending criteria.

Among others, the committee had said differential tax treatment

for expenditure on various CSR activities may create unforeseen

distortion in allocation of funds across development sectors. At

present, certain activities such as contribution to the Prime

Minister's National Relief Fund qualify for tax exemption.

first needs to be

green-l ighted

by six central

ministries. They

will also have to

disclose twice a year how they spent the funds raised through the

exchange. In the first few years, Sammaan will enlist agencies such

as Dasra, HelpYourNGO, Credibility Alliance and GiveIndia to audit

the projects. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has

also agreed to sign off on CSR spending made through Sammaan.

“The new exchange will be a simple way for them, and for countless

other unlisted companies, to comply with the CSR rules,” said

Praveen Chakravarty, Independent Strategic Advisor to BSE, who

negotiated BSE's memorandum of understanding with industry

body CII and the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (part of the

Ministry of Corporate Affairs) that led to Sammaan. Eventually,

based on Sammaan's success, the BSE may even consider

launching an index of companies making ethical investments, along

the lines of FTSE4Good Index Series, Chakravarty said.

Chakravarty believes companies still have a glimmer of hope that

the rules will just go away. “But the then

Corporate Affairs Minister Sachin Pilot,” he says,

“intended the rule as a nudge, not a tax. The

compulsory disclosures are meant to shame

companies into giving.” It's a tried-and-tested

mechanism, Chakravarty explains. “Even the

Rockefellers and Carnegies had to be shamed into

giving.”

installed 100 hand-pumps in

the villages, set up solar lights

and is conducting regular

health camps for the affected families. It has also signed an

MoU with the district education office for bringing 1,400

women dropouts in the villages identified by BSL back to

school under the zila saksharta samiti. Apart from these,

BSL is taking steps to improve education and train displaced

youth for skill development. The program has been

developed based on a survey report prepared by CEO

Anutosh Maitra two years ago.

This would help in solving drinking water problem faced by

displaced villages. However a project has also being worked

out in which solar lights will be set up in the villages. BSL is

serious over providing health facilities to displaced peoples.

Health camps are being organised in villages. Four health

camps are being organized every month in different

people. We may become GODs if we could rescue them through our ideas and resources.

Sailatha (MBBS)This month was a memorable month for my life time. Having spent not less than 1 hour completely with uncle, learnt so many things about life, like how to lead life and how to not. Got clarifications to my questions and felt happy for attaining a clear ideology towards life. Later enjoyed THE DIVINE PRERANA program and got inspired by one more personality named Dr. Anilkumar famous cardiologist and came back home with lots of joy. In Dussehra vacation, I visited holy places l ike Pavgada,

Vidhuraswatham, Leepakshi. I had divine time by visiting the ancient monuments, archaeological sites, and monolithic sculptures etc., Enjoyed grama seva at Alligundu village by participating in service.

Then I proceeded to Kurnool to have medical checkups which was a time taking process. This time I cleared everything and came back got scanned and went to neurologist where he advised me to use steroids, diuretics, etc., suspecting that migraine might also be one of the reasons of disc oedema. To avoid complications like loss of vision, etc., I am following the course. Then went to ophthalmologist and underwent different test and this imaged my fundus of my eyes after examination. Now am all right but only the thing is getting easily tired even in accomplishing routine works. The expenses to all these might have crossed Rs.1000/- apart from recommendations and concessions for few things. Brought new uniforms which amounted to Rs.1000/-. Due to such unexpected busy schedules couldn't concentrate properly on studies. But I need to plan and focus right from now onwards as pre final exams are going to commence from December. Presently, I am posted to orthopedics.

Then revision classes will start and I have my exam coming soon. That is why I am focusing more on my preparation. Recently my M. Sc. Results was announced and I scored 80%.This credit goes to abhaya foundation. Thanking you so much to abhaya for the great supporting to me in all ways. Recently I was mentally disturbed because of my family problems and could not focus on my preparation, so I was counseled by Founder and was taken to abhaya, and this visit to abhaya home gave me a different perception towards life. This act made me motivate once again and taught me the truth that everybody has problems in Life but what matters the most is our approach and attitude towards the problems. My friend's father Mr. Nukaraju who is supported abhaya, his health has been showing some progress. I thank abhaya for all the support you have been providing us in all ways to progress in Life.

days time Heartfelt Gratitude

An offering by Founder at thy feet of

Sri Sathya Sai Baba on HIS 90th Birthday

I found many opportunities, to serve as many as possible

around in the society while world celebrating 90 Years of

Pure Love & Service of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This

is my love for this PURE form of LOVE who infused life in to my

living, I LOVE HIM till the last breath & Will LIVE for HIS Message!

I spent my time during November 2015 in spreading the life skills

propagated by Baba wherever possible, whenever possible,

however possible to whom so ever possible and offer the initiative

as my humble gift at thy feet of Bhagawan Baba.

So is the thought, as is the result! Many

provided wonderful opportunities to me in the month of November and if

I see back, I feel humbled to know the fact that I could cover 2 states, 6

Districts, 23 places, 5,000 kilometers travel and interacting with 18,000

people. It is an amazing and divine experience in the life and hence

sharing the brief account of my month long initiative of spreading life

skills with you.

– CS Balachandra Sunku, Founder, abhaya FOUNDATION.

Sai Organisations along with

other NGOs & well wishers across the Telangana & Andhrapradesh

1.Govt Jr College/ Govt High School, KalyanadurgThe first in series was at Kalyanadurg, more than 1200 Intermediate, Vocational and High

School Students took part in the session on 6th November. When Sai Volunteers

approached Rajaram Thumucharla, the Principal in Charge for the first time in the Govt.

Junior College at Anantapur, seeking his permission to organize an Awareness Program

by me, he has very caringly suggested that such program can be arranged at KDG Govt.

Junior College as the students will be immensely benefited in the rural areas. His

suggestion turned to reality the way students sat on floor under the tent for more than 3

hrs was a site to see. Amazing is their interest. I could only do my best as heart was

moved beyond explanation... I wish all my good friends surely find time to visit rural area

students and interact with them whenever there is a possibility.

2. JNT University, AnantapuramBy the time we are done with Session at Kalyandurg

it was 12PM, Sai Volunteers arranged for yet another

session at JNTU with help of AP Sivakumar, In-

charge, JNTU Hostels. Rajaram Thumucharla,

Secretary, AP Govt College Principals Association

personally accompanied me in his car to JNTU from

Kalyandurg. I found, there were more than 500 B.

Tech., 1st year students waiting. I did my best to

share with them about current trends in the industry

and expectations from graduate engineers. Though

there was some initial disturbance, entire

community fell in sync with my deliberation. More

than 2 hours of time was spent. I could also briefly touched the concept of Complete Personality and Life

Skills. The session left good impressions in the hearts of many.

3. Govt. Medical College AnantapuramKnowing about my tour, abhaya Educare Student Kotturu Sailatha, who is pursuing

Medicine there, approached Sai Volunteers and requested to arrange for a session in

the college. She did some home work back end and took permission from Dr. Usha

Rani, Incharge Principal and there were more than 500 Medical Students gathered in

the college Auditorium at 3PM. It was amazing to see their sincere interest in learning

the points shared with them. I briefed about everything related to Doctor's Profession

apart from other life skills essential for every human being in the country. Everyone

felt inspired including teaching staff. All this made us to skip lunch, as our focus was on

making use of every minute at Anantapuram. My long term dream of talking with

Medical Students turned in to reality.

4. Kesavaeddy High School, AnantapuramWhen I was proceeding to next destination, I was cautioned

about behavior of naughty students of this high school by Sai

Volunteers. More than 500 High School Students bubbling

with energy of going back home were waiting to meet me

over there. It was a challenge for me to connect to them,

but, the way I started the session… in 5 minutes everyone

was passionately connected. Thanks to Baba who infused so

much of love and energy in my body, whatever might be the

situation! I always won the hearts! When Principal requested

to conclude by 6.30, no student was ready to leave the

auditorium. Instead they started shouting aloud that they want to listen to me more and more. They were not ready to go back

home, many parents were seen beckoning their kids to come out, not even a single child bothered to respond. Such was the

inspiration generated with the session with the help of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star... The way students shook hands, rubbed

shoulders and hugged me is something which cannot be explained but can be only experienced. Thanks to SSSSO, Anantapuram

5. SLN Junior College for Girls, AnantapuramNo one was interested to attend a session during such

an add time (730PM), but they made to sit and they

were gathered reluctantly by the instructions of their

Head of the Institution. It was a huge gathering of 2000

Jr College students drawn from all the districts of

Rayalaseema, it was seen as a Sea of Girls. I was little

scared about the time, ambience and reluctance. But

with in no time entire gathering was hearty connected

to me and my thoughts. No one even stood for a minute, though public address

system was not sufficient for such a gathering; they have created an absolute pin

drop silence. I could create

m a x i m u m p o s s i b l e

awareness about their life

and career coupled with Sai

Values and Philosophy. At

last the Principal took mike

and publicly expressed apology for their

disconnect stating that it was for the first time

each one of them were inspired by such a

session. Then there was a huge crowd of

students around me thanking, for such

session and many became very emotional

while sending me off from their campus.

for Boys, AnantapuramIt was yet another divine session with

more than 1200 Inter students at Sri

Sathya Sai Jr College Anantapuam. More

and encouraged them to join the Mission on SSS Vidya

Vahini. Very inspiring they are...satisfying time for me

This session was unique. There were more than

1000 students and 90% of them are rural kids. It

was different interaction here most of them talked

about negative influences like teenage,

attractions, cinemas and cell phones etc.,Pained to

know the issues of their age, instead of talking

about education and values, I started speaking

about how to overcome from such negative

influences in life. It was yet another spell bound

session for entire community of teachers and

students. At the end each student wished to shake

hand, hug and shared their mobile number etc.,

11. Govt. Junior & Vocational College at Anantapuram

There was a huge difference in seeing the

College run by Sai Volunteers and other

Pvt. and Govt. Colleges which were visited

by me since 3 days. There was difference

in infrastructure, upgrading the campus,

cleanliness, colours, ground, compound,

uniforms, devotion, discipline, silence,

teachers and students; every aspect was

mixed with Sai Values. It was again

heartwarming experience to interact with

more than 1200 girl students who

belonged to poor and middle class families

and rural areas. In total I could generate best possible impressions about life, career

and Personality in their hearts, inspiration to march ahead in days to come.

Students though very naughty

but got connected to me heartily

within no time in spite of drizzling

lightly on their heads, they were

roaring like lions and bubbling

with lots of energy, it was like

swimming in their hearts with Sai

Values. In spite of drizzling and

dinner time no single student was disturbed and more over entire teaching and non teaching staff just became students among

students enjoying every bit of my talk. They said such a power packed session has never been witnessed by them. Requested me

to visit the campus any time I visit Anantapuram. Feelings blessed to serve my country men with SSSSO while the world

14. Diwali celebrations at Victoria Residential Home, HyderabadYet another Diwali celebrated with 1000 kids at Govt. run Victoria Residential Home at Saroor

Nagar, it became my Annual routine since a decade or so with Sai Youth, but this time missed

many of my loved ones. How ever seeing the faces of kids in the lights, just forgot everything

and immersed myself with innocent hearts.

15. Children's Day celebrations at Oxford High School & Pragathi High School, HyderabadIt was a delightful experience to celebrate Children's Day with 1500 both the Schools along with their students. Their enthusiasm

and energy in learning new things has awakened the child within me once again. It is true that there is a child hidden deep inside

everyone's heart. Let us not bury the child inside us, instead let us revive the traits of a child like being happy for no reason, being

enthusiastic in learning everything and being satisfied with minute things in life. Thanks to abhayans Sri G Madhumohan, Tax

16. ICAI Vijayawada

Pleased to inform you that the Art of Parenting workshop held at Puvvada Auditorium in Khammam on 15th November 2015 was a grand success. More than 250 parents participated in it actively and discussed various aspects involved in pearenting. Everybody felt it's a great responsibility that they have towards not only their children but thereby to the society in producing responsible and enlightened citizens for the country.

Local MLA Sri Puvvada Ajay Kumar graced the occasion as chief guest and spoke how his father had different ideology and affiliation to different party but allowed him to have his own ideology and welcomed his choice of party and thereby allowing him to grow as himself independently. Later the IIT fame Sri Chukka Ramaiah garu spome for 45 mints pouring his experience in teaching field and explaining the psychology of the children and how careful we must be not to send wrong and contradictory signals to them by not practicing what we preach every day. The child learns by example and not by precept. Then Sri Prasad from Jana Vijnana Vedika animatedly spoke and explajned how we must arrange all the circumstances around the child for it to develop freely and without being under stress.

The last session by Sri Balachandra Sunku from abhaya Foundation was so interesting that even when we wanted to close the program at 2PM because of delay, but the parents were not allowing us to conclude and demanded the speaker to continue as his talk is so valuable for them. They said we eat everyday but we came today for this important program so that we can bring more love and light into our children's life. Sri Sunku garu made everyone participate in the debate and made it free for all. Real ground level problems were raised from experience and solutions found thereby. Everyone felt that such important conferences must be held once every year.

We t h a n k a l l t h e s c h o o l managements for their wonderful cooperation. We thank the parents to have utilized this program. We especially thank the speakers for their valuable time and knowledge - transfer.- Team VIHE

18. Padmavathi Girl's Hostel, KhammamFounder visited Padmavathi Girls Hostel managed by Smt.

& Sri Rambabu at Khammam and addressed all inmates of

hostel who are pursuing Engineering Courses in 4

Engineering Colleges at Khammam 15.11.15

Felt blessed to see, interact

and address 500 tribal youth

drawn from Visakhapatnam

Agency areas. No one have

seen a train in their life till

now and every one visited

Baba's abode for the first

time in life. They just earn

Rs.50 or Rs.100 from selling

the forest produce. The most

shocking news is that they

all drink mud waters nearby

their hamlets.

Sai Youth inspired by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba started working

on the Mission to provide little clean water for their drinking since

last 5 years. They faced many hurdles and instructions, but their will

never diluted. They started looking at the source of each water flow

in the hills and laid pipelines and connected them to water tanks

which gave the tribal a heavenly experience filling the pots with

waters in taps.

19. Vizag Tribal Youth, Prasanthi Nilayam

Sai Youth did such small water tanks in 170 places tirelessly.

More than this, they started working on their personal

habits and hygiene. Results are miraculous, that can be

seen understood only when someone see the congregation

of thousands of tribal from hundreds of hamlets in order to

express their gratitude to Baba.

This is just a single story of transforming the countrymen by

Sai Youth, they are in hundreds all over the country.

Dedicating the life for such people... I moved to

Dharmavaram for yet another service opportunity.

I had a most memorable session with most innocent rural

students of Govt. Junior College for boys and girls at

Dharmavaram, Anantapuram Dist. When I questioned myself as

to what is the best way to offer my love to Baba on his 90th

Birthday on 23rd November 2015, my inner being answered me

that I must try to spend time in taking Sai Values to student

communities would be an opt offering. Hence, November month

dedicated for the youth of this country. So made my visit to

Dharmavaram. I just touched Baba's Maha Samaadhi in the

morning today. Seen Tribal Youth at back yard of

Prashanthinilayam. Finished lunch, proceeded to Dharmavaram.

1200 boys and girls with their lecturers waited without knowing

who is coming to them. Without saying the name, just started my

session with Sai Values... It was a spellbound for everyone. Their

expressions were simply superb, many became emotional, and

many felt responsible, most of them felt determined and some of

them cried but, on whole everyone was inspired. When teaching

staff tried to honor me, I turned that in to worshipping and

honoring Baba's alter that was placed on the stage. It was a

“ EA T”H RRural Development Update

I must thank abhaya Foundation for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts and

views on the status quo of rural India. More than two-thirds of India's population live in

villages. Villages of India symbolize the true spirit of country that is rich in its culture and

traditions. Habitually the Indian villagers manifest a deep loyalty to their villages. A rural

family which has its root seated deeply in a specific village does not move easily to another.

The mystic charm and the cultural diversities of the village life in India make Indian villages the

land where beauty never fades away, and dreams never cease to exist.

The villagers of India are normally habituated in sharing and using the common

facilities of the village including the village shrines, pond, schools, grazing grounds,

recreation places, etc. This interdependence of the village life in India perhaps

provides a matchless unity amongst the villagers which supports them in surviving amidst thousands of odds.

This seemingly sweet definition of village & village life is now a matter of past. To sustain any culture, a society or a

village, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the citizens living in that society. Of late, the major challenge in the

Indian villages has been and is migration. The cream of the village society is vacating the village. All educated

citizens are moving out of the villages for improvised livelihood. All the students are moving out of the village to

pursue higher studies.

Majority of the communities are finding it difficult to persist with their traditional jobs, which

once was their source of daily bread and butter. Hence these communities are moving out of

villages. Though the reasons for this displacement might be financial, political or any other, these

communities are of the conclusion that if they move to urban areas their lives may change for

good. Besides the above reasons, pursuing an occupation in Indian Villages has become a tough

task. Traditional occupation in our villages was Agriculture which is not viable now. The actions

that our government is taking are not gaining ground. With all this I feel, it is high time that we

look back to our villages. I will share my views and suggestions on various aspects of village

development here after. Mainly I will discuss on Infrastructure, Health and Wellness, Education,

Women empowerment, Self-sustainability, which deals with increasing the per capita income of

the villagers. Also I am happy to support anyone who wants to start his/her journey towards

village development. My next column will throw light on Agriculture with few implementation

plans and success stories. Love and life for the country. - Lakshmi Narasimharao Ikkurthi.

Why Rural Development needed in India

Aathma Viswasam Xerox Center, Penugonda

Mission RameshI am Bobbili Ramesh, I am a farmer and resident of Argul,

Nizamabad District. 19 years ago I had a electrified attack while

trying to set up electric connection to the current pole in the

farm I fell down from the pole and this made me handicapped.

The lower half of my body has become senseless and made me

bed ridden. I was treated at NIMS, Hyderabad and KIMS,

Mumbai, but it was of no use. My parents died after few months

because of the depression. Since then my sister has taken the

responsibility to look after me. She has given up marriage taken the whole responsibility on to her

shoulders. the agricultural land which we possessed was liquidated and money was spent for my

treatment. At presenting it is costing up to 5000 rupees per month for my maintenance and

medication. I request you to please do the needful and guide us to earn a source of income. You are

very kind in asking us to stay at abhaya home, Ibrahimpatnam till our last breath. But, we discussed

the matter here in our village. My sister is scared to come out of village and hence we are unable to

come to Hyderabad. We can only beg you to provide a monthly sustenance for my life. We accept what

ever you give. Please be kind in supporting me to lead the life.

J Kishore (PHC) was referred by Sri J

Prathap Reddy (JPR), Sahithi Gagan

Mahal Trust. Penugonda, Anantapuram

Dist AP to get livelihood support about

6 months back. With lots of thought

process, abhaya asked JPR to lead the

machine to the end. It took almost 9

months to provide a Xerox Machine

worth Rs.45,000/-. The machine was

supplied by Srinivas Reddy as he

delivered one such machine to Manohar & Jagannath at Ramakkapet, Medak Dist. The machine was there after transported to

Penugonda incurring Rs.8000/- charges for vehicle. Kishore n his brother Suresh were asked to look in the issues relating to

operation of the machine. They said they were ready with knowledge.There was Rs.2,000/- administration costs too involved.

Founder personally went and dedicated it to the welfare Kishore on 9th November 2015 in the presence of many local people.

We thought it is happy closure... Couple of weeks back when we enquired about working of machine...then to our shock they said

its not working. Then we started enquiring about what went wrong. Every stake holder (JPR, Kishore, Suresh, Supplier Srinivas

Reddy, Siva and Balachandra) talked differently. Ultimately the shop closed for a month since opening day. We pleaded the

supplier to attend to the defect and asked him to repair or replace it urgently. We are just waiting to address this issue. It's yet

again a painful experience for abhaya team in serving the needy. Praying GOD to infuse strength and expertise in doing such

projects. - abhaya Team

Mission Jairam Shetty (Karnataka)Hope many of the abhayans still remember him to whom abhaya provided

a tilling machine with about Rs.75000 about 5 years back and supported

him with a monthly support of 5000 for many years. Now due to heavy tear

and wear the machine was sold in scrap and this brought him to square

one. With lots of effort behind by Sri Subhash Chaabria, a long term

associate of abhaya could connect to Maya Sharma of NDTV seeking their

support and could telecast his story in NDTV news. Our plan is to buy a

Maruti Omni costing Rs.3.25 Lakhs. We could pool Rs. 2.05 lakhs till date

and the rest yet to be funded.

In the mean time Sri Subhash could connect to Abharan Motors at Udupi

and brief them about the condition of Jairam Shetty. They were kind

enough to provide Maruti Omni with financing facility. Rs.2.05Lakhs being

transferred to them by abhaya. Maruti Omni being delivered to Jairam and he will be giving the vehicle on rent to his

known friend who is a tourist operator with a firm commitment of getting Rs. 6 to 7 thousand per month enabling him to

survive with his disability. We sincerely hope this would give him a life - abhaya Team

Dear Maya Sharma,

At the outset I would like to thank NDTV and Abhaya foundation in particular,

founded by Mr. Balachandra Sunku ( they have single handedly given a

donation of Rs 1,00,000/=) for helping us to pool in about Rs 2,05,000/= which

has gone as part payment for purchase of a Maruti Omni tourist vehicle , for Mr.

Jayaram Shetty. The balance amount was got as a loan. He will now have a

chance for self- sustenance for himself and his family, through this help. A

sincere thanks to all concerned & keep the good work going . - Subhash.
