Skill Development Center:

Seva Bharathi planned to start skill development center at madikonda, near kazipet, Warangal district. We have

been started construction and it is getting ready to start skill development center soon. As part of skill

development we want to train the nearby rural youth in service and repairing of Home appliances. We felt that

providing a certificate to the trained youth will give the value addition to their real time training and their

career.

Seva Bharathi Projects supported Under CSR:

Vaidehi Ashram:

After studying the girl childs growth in the society, we have identified the areas that impact Girl child in the

country - Maltreatment, Child Labour and Child Marriage, Gender bias, Trafficking, HIV/AIDS, Homelessness

and Impoverishment are some of those.

To address the serious issue of Girl child abandonment we have started Vaidehi Ashram in 1993 at Saidabad,

Hyderabad. And for past 23 years we are proud to say that we have provided shelter, education, jobs and

married of many (till now 25) abandoned Girl children from our institution. Our experience in this area speaks

for itself with many references coming to us from society, known persons and from government etc. Presently it

is accommodating 104 girls.

This project was supported by CAF India, for more than 4 years and now the discussions are going to increase

their support to this project. Microsoft and SBI is also active supporter of this project.

Abhyasika (Study Rooms):

Lakhs of people stay in slums in cities and towns. Hundreds of huts are constructed on a small of land. A

family usually stays in a small, one room hut. It is in such a small, congested set-up that all the members of

the concerned family are compelled to perform their respective activities. The general atmosphere and

environment in such slums, particularly in the evening and night is noisy. Students find it difficult to study

peacefully.

Abhyasika (Free Study Room) is a student-centered activity, attempting to find a solution to the difficulties

faced by the students residing in slums. The study room facility is located near or in the slum. Places such as

schools or community halls where no activity is carried out during late evening are selected for this activity.

Provision is made for adequate light, drinking water and toilets. Students from the slum are invited to the

Abhyasika every evening where they can study and complete their homework in a peaceful manner. In this

respect study rooms differ from tuition classes. No regular classroom type teaching is conducted in

Abhyasikas. The supervisors solve difficulties faced by the students. Students are seated according to their

standards in schools. A supervisor or two ensure that peace is maintained in the group under their care.

Attendance is recorded every day. If a student remains absent consecutively for 2-3 three days, some worker

visits his home to enquire about the reasons for absence. Progress of the students is monitored periodically by

obtaining progress reports of their respective schools. Presently Seva Bharathi running 57 such centers in and

around Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts. Around 1500 children are getting benefited by this program.

This project is supported by Beardshell Ltd. and Tri Geo technologies Pvt. Ltd. from past two years and

planned to start 200 such centers in these twin district in this academic year.

Projects supported under Govt. Schemes and Institutions:

Sandeepani Awasam, Palamur (Child Labour Rehabilitation Center):

Child labor deprives children of their right to go to school, exposes them to violence, and reinforces

intergenerational cycles of poverty. Yet, this serious violation of human rights is not inevitable. Worldwide,

about 168 million children aged 5 to 17 are engaged in child labor, accounting for almost 11 per cent of all

children. India has the dubious distinction of being home to the largest child labor force in the world, with an

estimated 30 percent of the world's working kids living here. Nearly 85 per cent of child laborers in India are

hard-to-reach, invisible and excluded, as they work largely in the unorganized sector, both rural and urban,

within the family or in household-based units.

Child labor is preventable through integrated approaches that simultaneously address poverty, improve access

to education and mobilize public support for respecting childrens rights. Seva Bharathi has been running

campaigns against child labor since 2002. With a partner network of 60 other non-governmental organizations,

Seva Bharathi runs various hostels called Affection Homes that house the rescued children. These children are

provided boarding, lodging and education.

Sandipani Awasam is one such affection home in MahabubNagar district of Telangana supported by Seva

Bharathi. Several hundred children were rescued from child labor and housed in this home aged between 9-15

years. All rescued children are initially sent to bridge schools for a year where orientation is given to

reintegrate them into the school system. 90% of the children after completing school went to college and

completed graduation. Two children went to become doctors.

In general Many children were working as labors in Farms, Tea/Coffee shops etc. Their parents sold the

children and migrated to Mumbai and other parts of the country. An extraordinary effort has been put in to

bring out the inherent talent of these children. The little hands that have toiled have now been performing on

par in education and sports with other children.

The campaign for eradication of child labor paired with alternative education and innovative methods has

made the children stay at these affection homes and get back to school. This project was started with the

support of both state and central governments.

Vivekananda Vritti Vidya Kendram: Hyderabad

Vivekananda Vritti Vidya Kendram started operations in 1995. Since then to 2015, we are able to train nearly

1800, out of which approximately 90% were employed. Nearly 20% started borrowing clothes form shops and

tailoring on the basis of fee. 3 started business independently.

Vritti Vidya Kendram vocational training helped the people whose financial condition was poor by

providing employment. And also Counseling helped people with psychological problems and boosted self

confidence in them. This project is supported by SBI bank. Presently we are running 4 centers in Hyderabad.

Along with tailoring centre, we are also organizing many other services. With these services we were

associated with Kovida womens council and Vasanth Nagar Womens Council who were in the same service

line We also conduct various religious programs like yagnas, Independence Day, Republic Day,

Rakshbhandan, Samuhika Varalakshmi Vratam in Sravana Maasam and Vanabhojanam in Karteeka

Maasam. We encourage women with programs like Maatru Mandali on every Monday and with conducting

games among them in every association.

Along with tailoring, a brief exposure on health, self confidence, self- sufficiency is provided as a part of the

training session

Summer Camps for children will be conducted which helps them to develop professional education,

patriotism, culture along with songs and games Matru Mandali program conducts awareness programs and

discussions on Parenting, women related issues, role of women in family building, Hindu Families, Patriotic

songs, Devotional songs. We will invite all the old and new students for all activities Students also invite all

for their family and personal functions which help in new contacts and a strong relation within the students.

We are running these centers at 4 places of Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts.

Sanghamithra Seva Samithi:

Chenchu is a primitive tribal group inhabiting 6 districts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, mostly in and

around the Nallamala forest. Their population is around 40,000 and declining.Their under-development is

demonstrated by the indicators in education and health - literacy rate of about 10%, serious malnutrition is

causing them diseases (79%), Infant mortality (17%), TB (4%) and Malaria41%. Chenchu are generally shy and

vary of outsiders, which makes it difficult to undertake any intervention to improve their socio-economic

condition.

Sanghamithra Seva Samithi is trying to make a difference in the life of Chenchus by eradicating the illiteracy,

malnutrition and substance abuse. To make this happen the organization is providing awareness, education

through the residential school, nutritious food and medical aid through a mobile dispensary at their door step.

Sanghamithra Seva Samithi had initiated a program about 15 years ago to educate the Chenchu tribals and

improve their health to raise their life expectancy. As a rapport building measure we initially started a few Bala

Samskara Kendra and later opened Baktha Kannappa Gurukulam, a residential school in 1999.

After understanding their way of life and building trust with the community, Sanghamitra Mobile Dispensary

was launched in 2003 with the support of Government of India and now being run with the help of IDRF

since 2007. It is a challenge to find and motivate dedicated doctors and medical workers to work among tribals

living in interior areas devoid of any civic amenities. The Mobile dispensary with a group of doctors visits

every Chenchu gudem (38gudems in total) at least thrice every month. We have successfully cured 212 TB

cases (out of 234), 614 ante-natal cases, 1334 anemia and 48,516 other cases.

Other Projects:

Other than the CSR support and govt. support we are running 15 affection homes, 5 schools, help desks at

govt. hospitals, mobile medical van, mobile science lab, kishori vikas yojana centers (study rooms for girls),

shelter home at Gandhi hospital with the help of individuals from society.

In all over the state we are running 15 affection homes. In all these affection homes presently we are totally

accommodating 800 children.

For the education of needy and poor children of remote villages we are running 5 schools in the state. In these

5 schools nearly 900 students are getting benefited.

We are running help desks at 5 major govt. hospitals of Hyderabad (Gandhi, Kothi Maternity and Nilofer

hospital). In these hospitals daily 300-400 patients getting guidance and help from our volunteers in each

hospital.

Mobile Medical Van (Sanjeevani) visits the slums of Hyderabad. It is covering nearly 25 slums in a month

and providing medical aid to about 1000 slum dwellers.

Mobile science Lab (Jignyasa) started with a vision that every school going children should get hands on

learning experience. We concentrated on govt. schools and small private schools. Jignyasa is visiting monthly

40 schools and giving real feel and exposure of science to nearly 12000 students.

development on a common platform and share with each other their success stories so that there is replication as

well as scaling up. Secondly, the challenges and problems faced are opened up for discussion so that new

place. Around 20 stalls with innovations, handicrafts, arts are placed in exhibition.

All the presentations have been published in souvenir which was given in the beginning of the program.
